Do you think the players just like to play in those top European leagues clubs? The players are chasing good career so that they can play in those good clubs.
i am pretty sure that yes they do like to play in the big clubs for a lot of reasons and good money is one of them why would these athletes be playing football in the first place if there was no interest? obviously they grew up wanting to play football but now as adults they also need to think about how they could sustain their lifestyles and that is by working
being able to do what you are passionate about while getting large income is a privilege that a lot of these athletes have
If they are not chasing career, they could just stay in the country league if it is about passion. There is nothing like passion when it comes to money, but the players can enjoy playing in the clubs they are.
if it was only about passion then they would have been better off playing as a hobby and not as a profession
