The club were eventually charged €5.5m with tax fraud, however according toBBC Sport, the 24-year-old is set to receive further punishment after a Spanish judge deemed that the player will receive corruption charges following further irregularities in his transfer to the La Liga champions.
Further reports have suggested that Brazilian investment group DIS - who owned the the player's transfer rights -were alleged to have received 40% of the reported €57.1m transfer fee, however they supposedly received a smaller sum.
