This news is coming a month after a court froze £32m worth of his  assets, which included a private jet, yacht and properties in Brazil. The 24 year-old failed to pay tax in Brazil on his earnings from former club Santos as well as Barcelona and Nike endorsements between 2011-13. He concealed £11m in taxes between those three years. 
In its ruling, the federal court judge in Rio de Janeiro included £25m in interest and fines.
