WAYNE ROONEY’S FORTUNE CLIMBS TO £170M FOLLOWING MASSIVE TAX RETURN
Wayne Rooney receives an £800,000 tax refund after HMRC shuts down his image rights company. The payment adds to the former England striker's estimated £170 million net worth following his successful career.

Due to his successful football career, which also disclosed his enormous personal worth, former England and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney has received a large cash windfall. Rooney has received a substantial tax payment from HMRC in the amount of £800,000 ($1.05m) after a business he used for his image rights was shut down.
Rooney makes a ton of money as his net worth increases.
This most recent financial event comes after Rooney's previous legal battles with HMRC throughout the years. He and other celebrities previously participated in film financing schemes like Ingenious, which resulted in high tax liabilities; the present payoff had nothing to do with these schemes.
The former football player has merely received a tax refund and a final accounting as a result of the image rights firm's liquidation. Companies are frequently established to manage a player's image rights independently from their football wages, including agreements with international brands like Nike, Coca-Cola, and EA Sports, according to a report from The Sun. This incident underscores the complexity surrounding professional athletes' earnings and tax affairs.
This new refund is a direct result of the company's winding up, and Rooney has previously been the subject of intensive investigation and arguments with the taxman. It increases his estimated net worth, which has increased via his football career and other endeavours, to as high as £170 million ($223.7 million).
After Liverpool defeated Real Madrid in the Champions League, Virgil van Dijk faced commentator Rooney, who had openly questioned his leadership. On his podcast, Rooney criticised Van Dijk's performance, saying that "body language tells you a lot" and that the Reds captain and talisman, Mo Salah, had "downed tools" after signing new deals. This was the start of the argument. At first, Van Dijk referred to the remarks as "lazy criticism," adding, "I did not hear him last year" when Liverpool won.
"I believe that was a bit... but that is my personal opinion, and we move on," the Netherlands international said in response to Rooney's claim that he had grown complacent following his new contract during their TV altercation. In defence of his analysis, Rooney stated, "I think what I have said was fair" and that it is only natural for a club that loses a lot of games to have their captain questioned. Rooney defended his evaluation of Van Dijk's on-field performance, stating that "from a performance point of view, I think I was speaking what I felt and what I saw, and I felt I was right," even though he later acknowledged on his podcast that his remarks may have been "a bit unfair because I do not know him that well as a person."
Although the interaction ended with a handshake, it highlighted the conflict between contemporary players and commentators.
Slot's attempt to hit Rooney
Rooney also confronted Slot, the manager of Liverpool. When asked if the atmosphere on Merseyside had improved, the Dutch manager said, "It is obvious that it is nicer when you win games than when you lose games as a manager." "Am I correct or incorrect, heh?" Slot grinned broadly as he turned to face Rooney while uttering the remark.
GRAND FINAL HERO BACK AT RHINOS TO INSPIRE COACHING SUCCESS
Leeds Rhinos have appointed 2012 Grand Final winner Shaun Lunt as a reserves coach. The former England hooker will assist Chev Walker, helping to develop the next generation of stars at Headingley.

One of the Grand Final winners has rejoined the Leeds Rhinos as a coach.
Shaun Lunt, a former England hooker who played for the Rhinos twice, will support reserves manager Chev Walker in the upcoming campaign. Lunt played a part in Leeds' 2012 Super League title retention victory over Warrington Wolves at Old Trafford.
He was loaned to the Rhinos from the Huddersfield Giants for that season. He returned seven years later in a trade that saw Matt Parcell join Hull KR. The 38-year-old Cumbrian played for Workington Town, Batley Bulldogs, and Castleford Tigers before starting his professional career.
Having coached the Pennine League team Mirfield, Lunt said on social media that he is "unbelievably thrilled" to be helping Walker. "It is really an enormous honour to return to Leeds and assist with the next generation of players," he continued.
This year, Walker led the Rhinos' reserves to a Grand Final victory and the top spot on the standings. In addition, he oversaw the academy, which finished second in both the league and the championship match. Walker will continue to lead the second-string, and Simon Brown, a former Leeds player, will take over as the under-18s coach for the upcoming campaign.
ANTHONY JOSHUA’S FUTURE CLARIFIED —EDDIE HEARN TACKLES THREE BIG RUMOURS
Anthony Joshua's next move is unclear as promoter Eddie Hearn addresses trainer change rumours, a potential Jake Paul fight, and a possible 2025 return. The focus remains on a future Tyson Fury mega-fight.

The boxing community is speculating about Anthony Joshua's future move.
The former world heavyweight champion has not competed since Daniel Dubois knocked him out at Wembley Stadium a year ago.
However, he is considering a comeback to the ring and laying the groundwork for a big battle with Tyson Fury.
He has a number of interesting alternatives on the table, but it is unclear what he will do next. Three rumours regarding Joshua's potential next move were dispelled by his promoter, Eddie Hearn.
Is Joshua going to get a new trainer?
Joshua's last three fights, which ended in a knockout loss against Dubois, were coached by Ben Davison.
However, he just travelled to Spain to attend the training camp where his previous opponent, the undisputed heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, is getting ready.
However, that does not imply that Joshua will turn to Usyk's inner group for advice.
When asked if Joshua would split from Davison by Matchroom's Flash Knockdown, Hearn said, "I do not think there is any confirmed decision on that."
"AJ travels the world a lot, as you are aware. He enjoys exploring, going to training camps, and learning new things.
"He is currently engaged in that activity.
It is commonly known that he visited the Usyk team and collaborated with them.
"I do not believe anything is official. And Anthony Joshua will be the one to make an official announcement.
Will Joshua and Jake Paul face off?
Jake Paul, a YouTuber who is now a boxer, has brazenly added Joshua to his list of opponents.
Paul has previously told ESPN, "That is the most hazardous fight for me right now."
The disparity in size is striking. Joshua weighed 52 pounds more than Paul, who had battled at 200 pounds.
But Hearn has set the stage for an incredible battle versus Paul.
"Why not run out versus Jake Paul for a lot of money if we are going to have a run-out fight?" he said. Discussions are going on.
"I am unable to confirm that we have seen a contract or that it is close. However, I do not see why we would not have the opportunity to fight Joshua if he truly wants to.
"A run for the world heavyweight title and at Tyson Fury are our main priorities. However, we also do not influence that. Hearn further stated:
"Talks with Jake Paul's team have taken place."I am not sure if that is a possibility.
In 2025, will Joshua compete on short notice?
Due to the difficulty of organising a fight of Joshua's calibre, turnarounds with little notice are practically impossible.
However, Hearn's statement to DAZN that Joshua may still compete in 2025 generated controversy.
The diary's entries for the dates of December 6, 13, 17, 20, and 27 were the focus of attention.
Joshua has the opportunity to realise his dream of fighting on the African continent when Craig Richards and Dan Azeez square off in Ghana on December 17.
Hearn gave an update, saying, "I am not sure if he will fight in 2025. The likelihood that he can is high. However, when I say that, people ask, 'where' and begin to examine every possible location.
"He is looking to fight and has begun training camp. That may happen in February, versus Jake Paul, or on one of our current concerts, but at this point, anything is possible."
Regarding his earlier remark that Joshua might fight this year, Hearn stated: "It has really caused me a lot of issues! They are speculating as to whether it is Ghana, Birmingham, or Stockton. "I do not know," is the response.
"There are negotiations regarding a hypothetical Anthony Joshua fight in Africa in 2026," Hearn added.
