The changes are getting funnier and funnier in the modern era. Benzema and Ronaldo to Saudi Arabia, Bellingham for 100 million to Madrid, etc.

Messi to the USA, however, I did not think possible. Allegedly, he is also involved in streaming rights of Apple+ percentage, which would exceed even the offer from Saudi Arabia so. Absolutely surreal somehow. What do you think about this? Does that bother you as a fan?

I am not a fan of messi and I do not think he is the best!

There are enough others who are better!

All the players who go abroad at the end are unscrupulous mercenaries!

You can see how Ronaldo is doing!

These are all hypocrites and have nothing to do with honor!

These ...... already have more than enough money. It's time for salary caps in soccer, otherwise I don't care where they go. I will never buy a Messi, Ronaldo or Benzema jersey in my life. Since I prefer to remain a fan of a real small traditional club

If you think about what money has done to the sport, then I'm really not surprised at all today. It's just the way it is. Everyone just wants to make big money at the end of their career.

I think it's good, better than going to the Saudis. If Messi makes football more popular in the USA, it can only be good for the 2026 World Cup there.

It's not Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe or anyone else's fault, it's the fault of those who pay them such absurd sums. Whoever bids the most wins. That it is not always good, one has seen with Ronaldo. Sure, he still makes a small difference, but with 38 he is not like with 25. By the way, it is also no wonder that the EPL is strong. With the turnover, they can afford players that normal "strong" clubs can't afford so easily. Juventus has felt that recently.

Many of the active players want to take as much money with them as possible so that they don't have to take a normal job after their career ends. If you look at what many of the "normal" players had normal jobs after the end of their careers, then you can understand the fear of the current players. It is also surprising to note that some ex-players who are still young are now pursuing a normal job. Here is an example. Not every player can earn 10 million or more a year and with all the luxury, I'm not surprised that some have few reserves after their career ends.

If other regions of the world can afford to pay huge salaries to attract the best footballers, then this could become a problem for European soccer at some point in the future.

MLS will certainly benefit, at least in the short term.


With Bellingham, I would have hoped for a little more money for BVB. I hope one has not sold there under value. 100 million for Bellingham is eig. too little, even if there are still bonus payments. But probably Real has the coal no longer sit so loose and BVB wants to have now also no strike case as with Dembele and co. Whereby I do not estimate Bellingham so. But what BVB has for a hand is already unique. If I only count Dembele, Haaland and Bellingham, the 3 players have already brought over 300 million in gross transfer income. in 2005 you were virtually broke and now you are every year since 2011 in the thick CL and transfer coal.

That the top soccer and his dear money are already for at least 10 years far from good and evil, is nothing new. As long as everyone continues to run to the stadiums, buy absurdly expensive merch, pay subscriptions or blow their money on sports betting, this machinery will continue merrily.

I don't think so: Nobody cares if you win the CONCACAF Champions League with LA Galaxy or Inter Milan. However, your market value increases extremely if you win the UEFA Champions League. As long as FIFA keeps the focus on Europe - and that will probably be for another 100 years or so - none of the soccer associations will come close to UEFA.

I also find the development very questionable, but would not blame the players. Nor would I describe anyone as an unscrupulous mercenary. The really big ones just get old at some point.

If, at the end of my career, a club from Saudi Arabia offers me €200 million for 2 years' work, I won't say no. That's an incredible amount of money. With that, I can provide for my children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and beyond. With that amount of money, I would probably even agree to play for North Korea when Kim calls.

It is not about those who have "only" 2 million on the account!


It's about such money guzzlers like messi Ronaldo and Co!
Yes I can understand them to take the gift money, but just the biggest of the big play but always the moral apostle!

Then you should donate half and good, and these players had enough money before and the next 8 generations would have been well supplied!

So already meets such idols a great complicity!

The argument of fear of not having enough money after the end of their career and the danger of having to work properly 😂 does not apply to the players we are talking about here...

Basically, I don't really care what they do at the end of their career. Whether it's the USA, Australia or Saudi Arabia, I really don't care. The leagues usually profit from it and accordingly they should be happy to spend their money on it.
What I personally find frightening is how Ronaldo is already being instrumentalized. In his interviews he states that the league in Saudi Arabia will become one of the most important in the world in a few years. Who believes ...
Doesn't the guy have his own opinion anymore?

Well, profit? The sheikhs are just wasting their money. I certainly don't watch a game in Saudi Arabia or the USA just because a Messi or Ronaldo is playing there. But there are enough fanboys

In this day and age I think 100 million for Bellinham is a bargain, nevertheless these sums are absurd.
