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.
The Saudi Arabia side has now made it more obvious by opening the door to players who are more interested in money than passion to come in.
I need more clarity on this matter, which is the reason I brought it on here.
Please when commenting let there fact that will be helpful
People often project based on their own aging and fail to realize the current trends which have displaced those which existed when they were growing up. I think there are plenty of players out there who kids want to copy these days, take Erling Haaland for example. He has a very high level of skill and has broken a few records over the years. Saudi level money never existed a decade ago and may not exist in a decade to come, so we shouldn't blame players for taking up the opportunity to earn double or triple the mega salary they might have gotten for staying in European leagues. Who knows, maybe the American MLS might continue growing organically (instead of forced) and eventually displace European wages.
