The answer is very simple.
The Spanish Income Tax for residents has an especific regime that allows workers that come over to live in Spain, to choose whether the want to tribute as residents (and then they could tribute upto a 43% of their incomes) or to tribute as non-residents for a period of 5 years (taxation of work incomes of non-resident is only 24%).
The reason of the especific regime is to atract talents to the Spanish economy. Not only football talents, but also scientist and all that kind of people.
Curious.
