Spanish Second Division Side Osasuna Reportedly Close To Deal With Taxman

Navarre, Spain Government President Yolanda Barcina announced that "she was expecting good news on the negotiations" between Spanish second division side Osasuna and the Spanish tax authorities, according to the EP. The negotiations pertain to the club "paying its debt to remain in the second division." Barcina pledged that the Navarre Government will collaborate with Osasuna to help prevent it from relegation to the third tier. Despite Barcina's announcement, it "will be Lourdes Goicoechea of the Spanish tax authorities who will have to confirm the details." Navarre Government sources indicated that the tax authorities "have analyzed a plan submitted by Osasuna and were able to reach a solution" (EP, 7/3).
