    Very unlikely he'll actually serve any time

    He wont see prison - they can suspend prison sentences of under 2 years in Spanish law.

    If he is given probation, does that mean that he has to stay in Spain?

    When you earn that much money, is there really any need?

    With my extremely limited knowledge of the legal system of Spain let alone my own country, I'd say he'd be worth more to the country out of prison playing football and paying the appropriate level of tax.

    Just goes to show the greed of some players. I would have had an accountant to deal with my earnings if I'd been in the telephone number pay bracket.

    Maybe he will appeal against it and it could take ages for it to come up again.
