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
You have a point, contemporary football is quite different from old times but I must say that there are still players that are focused on building their legacy like messi and Ronaldo but not on the same pace. In the history of football no one has beaten their record maybe due the reason is due to what you mentioned, a lack of passion and more interest in money. But do you think this is the case? Footballers don't really need to be obsessed or all about the money because however their career might be they are still going to get paid. Well, this is just my tought on this, they can be passionate about their career and still make money.
