Observation - It’s been going on as a gossip or will I say argument.
That players of nowadays are more focus on making money rather than playing for passion like the old days.

I also can strongly say that passion for football ends in Ronaldo and Messi ERA.

So many headlines has been flying around, about players either wanting to change clubs because they want to secure a huge paycheck. While others still in their current club demanding a pay rise to a new contract.

Right from time people go for the money football is a game of fun and money which you can't distinguish one from another. Everyone is striving for upliftment so hence if football is played only for fun without money, how will people know the best player? As far as I know money motivate people to increase their skill and bring the best in them to get award and recorgnition. Players may play for fun but doesn't end there. The money is what stears the action in them, if Ronaldo was to play only for fun without money, he wouldn't have left Manchester united at the first place.

But what OP is trying to say is that most players now are not motivated to show their real talent without money. They give their best not to make the audience believe and entertain them but for the sake of money only. It was different when you were playing because you wanted it and never thought about being paid high. But Ronaldo gained a high offer because the team noticed his passion, dedication, and talent. And he deserved it.
But I believe a player stays in his team despite huge offers from others because of the comfort and system used.
