A spokesperson for Carragher previously told BBC Sport: "This is a private tax matter that should have been resolved sooner, and the appropriate steps are being taken today to settle it. "It is understood that the matter will not proceed any further and will be resolved imminently." Watch Manchester City v PSG in the Champions League on Wednesday from 7.30pm.
