MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid striker Cristiano Ronaldo is ready to pay Spain's tax authorities 14.7 million euros (£12.9 million) - the amount he has been accused of defrauding by a prosecutor - ahead of a court hearing next month, Spanish state TV said on Wednesday.

Broadcaster TVE said, without identifying its sources, the 32-year-old would make this payment as a gesture of good will.
