The information is advanced, this Tuesday, by the ASwhich states that the Monaco footballer was recently fined €150,000.
According to the same source, Ben Yedder, who represented Sevilla between 2016 and 2019, saw a procedure initiated in 2019, when the investigation began, for him to pay a fine of more than 250 thousand euros, but not did. Later on, reveals the same source, the striker ended up paying around 225,000 euros to the Spanish tax authorities, in a first phase, and another 51,000 euros later.
