Are we really assuming Benzema swapped 'El Clasico' for Saudi Pro League merely chasing dollars? Sure, the financial pull is significant, but there are other variables at work. Benzema himself cited his Islamic faith as instrumental in his decision, should we disregard that?

What about the charm of a novel adventure? He's been a Madrid stalwart for years. Perhaps it's a longing for a fresh start, a rekindling of his footballing spirit. The Saudi league, with Ronaldo as part of its glamour, is becoming increasingly attractive.

Asserting money as the single motivation appears overly simplistic. Life and decisions within it are intrinsically complex.

Wait, I'm a little less understanding of what you're saying, didn't you read my post properly. I'm going to quote what you said "Do we really think that Benzema swapped 'El Clasico' for the Saudi Pro League just to chase the dollar" well you said another point as instrument of his faith in his decisions. then, you ask, should we ignore it.

The question is, did you read my post correctly. that I said, besides the big salary factor that there are other factors to consider. We both agree that cultural factors and strong beliefs were included in why Karim Benzema accepted Al Ittihad's offer, despite being a Real Madrid star. with all considerations, also involving his family as quoted by Fabrizio Romano, who in the end Benzema joined Al Ittihad. So, what are we arguing about here, or what are we arguing about. isn't it, the essence we mean is the same.
