In three years with Real Madrid, Mourinho won La Liga in 2012 and the Spanish Cup in 2011.

Both Ronaldo and Mourinho are clients of football super-agent Jorge Mendes, who has been summoned to appear before the court at Pozuelo de Alarcon, just outside Madrid, on June 27. The Dublin branch of Moore Stephens says it works to "the highest professional standards ensuring compliance" with all laws.

Ronaldo is with Portugal at the Confederations Cup in Russian Federation and has not said anything about his future since the "A Bola" story was published. Real Madrid fans are divided over the development with some expressing optimism that their goal machine is going nowhere why some have taken the wait and see position as events unfolds.

Madrid prosecutors said that after signing for the Spanish giants from Benfica in 2010, Di Maria had used companies in Panama and Ireland to hide earnings from the marketing of image rights.

The Portuguese superstar last Friday told his club he wants to leave in this transfer window after getting embroiled in a tax-avoidance situation.

Ronaldo has also been linked to Manchester United and AS Monaco.
