Not sure that boyhood club means anything. He's done well for them and if he has agreed to go to Real Madrid then European royalty to European royalty.....
I just can’t imagine, as a fan, leaving the club I support/love on a free when I’m ‘worth’ around £75m in the current market.
But you’re probably right. Loyalty doesn’t mean particularly much nowadays and Madrid are still a massive pull for players.
Obviously enough of a pull to fuck ‘his’ club over for.
