There have been many players that choose money over passion therefore if Victor Osimhen wants to go play for money, he should go ahead as I don't think there's more that he can do to win other honours to his name. He might win the league that he joins and also win the championship league but that's all as I don't think he can win the Ballon d'or. Victor Osimhen is from a poor country and his family were also poor and although he has made some money, it's always good to make more so your family don't suffer again even when you retire from playing. He should make a decision that's best for his family and not only put his own goals into consideration.
I find this very irritating. Very frequently I come across posts saying that playing in the Saudi Professional League is evil and the players do that just because of money. I never saw such posts when he was representing Charleroi or Napoli. Playing for European clubs is some sort of charity and playing in the Saudi league is immoral? What sort of logic is this? Playing football is similar to any other profession. Osimhen chose the European clubs because the salary was higher. Else he would have stayed in the Nigeria Premier Football League. And he wants to move to Al Ahli, because his salary will increase further.
players will always want to earn a lot of money, and in Europe they earn a lot of money. But football is a profession, and like every profession, we also look to the long-term future, we look to gain recognition from society. If Victor Osimhen had left Nigeria and gone straight to the Saudi League, you and no one else in this thread would be talking about him, because he would be an anonymous guy and his market value would not be very high and he would not be a very important player for the Nigerian national team. It is thanks to him playing in Europe that he has so much fame. So while he is young and playing in Europe, he should fight to play for the big clubs in Europe and win titles in Europe. When he is old and wants to retire, he can go to this Saudi League.
