Why do we expect a footballplayer to justify his choices. IS there a boycot towards Saudi for our industry? What about the partnership in different ways among Europe and Saudi? And, the elephant in the room, where do City's funds in recent years originate from?
Not Saudi Arabia for a start.
Quite probably, otherwise they don't get himBut just what are they realistically going to pay for a 32 year old, with a so so injury record in recent years (and that's not going to improve as he gets older)? Even for one of the world's best players, would they pay truly silly money? Silly, as in 100m?
100K a week in the USA or 500k a week in Saudi, which would you take?It's got to be the MLS. Can't really blame as he has completed domestic football (although another Champions League medal at City would have been a near perfect send off).
And probably for 2 years max!

Not to mention the zero per cent being paid in taxes in the latter.100K a week in the USA or 500k a week in Saudi, which would you take?

I think after Mahrez left last July, with 2 years remaining on his contract, he'd have cleared the same amount in Saudi by the end of October last season.Not to mention the zero per cent being paid in taxes in the latter.
Exactly, no decision to be made is there!Not to mention the zero per cent being paid in taxes in the latter.
And his family will probably be a lot safer in Saudi/Dubai than the USA.
Nice work if you can get it, and for these top guys , they can be in second gear all the timeI think after Mahrez left last July, with 2 years remaining on his contract, he'd have cleared the same amount in Saudi by the end of October last season.

Hard to even fathom making that kind of money.I think after Mahrez left last July, with 2 years remaining on his contract, he'd have cleared the same amount in Saudi by the end of October last season.
