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.
Not at all in my opinion. Professional football careers are short. Players must sometimes choose between chasing glory and their financial goals.
If someone is paying too dollar to play top football of course that’s the best. But that’s not often the case. I don’t at all blame players for prioritizing financial goals. Besides, going to Saudi can be a temporary stop to resurrect one’s career.
