Most often it is a terrible thing and those people that support these decisions just show how greedy they also are even if they refuse to admit it. How much money is enough? Most people that get an opportunity like this already have enough money and if they don't it is because they are reckless spenders.
I can understand someone who fully retired from their main club to go play a bit over there, but not more than that. Money is useful, let's be clear, it is useful for everyone but to think that it is the goal to be pursued by overlooking people or honor and loyalty is something squalid
is football not about money? you think the teams the players are playing for are just retaining players just because they like the players or just because the players are talented and young? the central thing about every sport is
money and players have recognized that and that is the reason why they are not going after teams that will give them better pay as against staying in just popular teams. it is when you don't have money again that you will know that everything revolves around money.
if football was not about money, no African player will be playing in Europe in the first place, they will stay in their local leagues and develop their league rather than trying out some top global leagues even though it is tougher getting teams that will sign them in those clubs.
Leaving to a place where the competition is bigger is not the same as leaving to a place for money. Football should not be primarily about money, that is what ruined the sport. It was much more beautiful before when less money was involved. The young people don't remember.
