The Sun reports Messi was sentenced to 21 months in prison and fined £1.7million over tax charges in July — but an ongoing appeal is expected to see him spared jail time.

A year, earlier he had been linked to the Panama Papers scandal.

And following that, La Nacion claim a government agent known only as as 'Agent G' has been secretly following Messi around and keeping a close eye on his finances.

It is part of a wide investigation into elite people within Argentina involved in the Panama Papers scandal.

Despite his ongoing issues regarding his taxes, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's family have constantly denied any involvement in it.
