in other news, it seems like Liverpool have finally succeeded in signing AS Roma winger Mohamed Salah. Fee should be around €45m, although there are probably some add-ons in there.

Right, I mean, I am by no means an Expert on 'Sports Taxation' but most athletes tend to do their work and let family or trusted advisers handle the financials.
This is kind of the bad part of it because maybe your accountant or financial adviser screwed up but you're the one on the hook and in the media.
This whole Salah business is beyond me, its huge money so I hope they know what they're doing.
