Neymar's agent encouraged him to use tax havens and also end his career with Real Madrid.

Neymar has reportedly evaded 63 million reals in Brazil taxes (almost $16 million) between 2011 and 2013, when he was still a player with Brazilian club Santos.

"Take your money, send everything to tax havens, legally, of course," Wagner Ribeiro wrote in a letter addressed to Neymar's father, Neymar Sr. "This way you will stop paying taxes in Brazil! Close your businesses, the Institute of Praia Grande, and go enjoy your life on Mediterranean beaches. You and your family.

"But leave Neymar to play a few more years ... and end his career in Europe, preferably at Real Madrid."
