It is true that money is man's greatest friend in life. But some cases may have unique reasons. Here, Benzema has come to the Saudi league not just for money, but also for unique reasons. In the beginning, Benzema says that he is a Muslim, being a Muslim he wanted to live in a Muslim country. So what do you think Benzema came here to the Saudi League for money? On the other hand I give an example like Messi left PSG to Inter Miami but for a very low salary. Messi was offered much more money by the Saudi club than Miami, but he joined the Miami club instead of going to the Saudi club. From here it can be understood that people do not do everything for money.
There are a lot of Muslim nations around the world. What makes Saudi Arabia more special than the others? Benzema was attracted by the money that the Saudis are offering. He don't need to give such ridiculous excuses. Actually all this is not needed. Football is just like any other profession. Players have every right to chose a club that offers them a bigger paycheck. Given this, why should he give such ridiculous excuses? And I have mentioned this before. Dragging religion to sport is a big no-no for me. It can make other players in SPL quite uncomfortable.
