I thought it was just a mere opinion or rumor people share nothing else not until op mentioned Saudi Arabia, at some point players run after the money, it’s really affecting most players for example playing for a team with low competition and potential will actually reduce a player not minding the kind of money they earn. In all this we still have the real ones so I will not accept the fact, although I will not mistaking this words “knowing your worth and playing for the money not just the passion” it’s different when big teams sign big names because they know the worth and how valuable a good player can be.
