Ok, don’t hate me. I am happy with aging players going anywhere they want, get some fat cheque and enjoy their retirement… but with news of sancho going Saudi, I was wondering how would a player take it ? Shouldn’t they be insulted particularly when some of their clubs have lower attendance than third tier English league clubs.
Tbf most footballers aren’t super rich. They also have to look after extended family and friends. Sometimes entire villages/towns. After everything, there often isn’t a ton of cash left over.
They only have ~10 years at the top level. After they retire or big contract runs out, theres not enough job opportunities for ex footballers to make big money. Might as well make as much money while they can.
