This is the crux of the matter.
Football is awash with money and there are lots of issues regarding that. But a player is almost always going to try and negotiation the best possible deal they can. Especially when you have a family and a ton of charities back in Africa that you support. Why some folks expect him to be sentimental about joining a club that finished 10th, from a club who are currently the best in the world is beyond reason. It's business. And he isn't that rich that he can afford to potentially leave 10M on the table.
For all we know he could be excited about joining us. But that doesn't mean he should rush to sign a contract and risk losing so much money. Adopting this rash "if he doesnt sign within 24 hours that means he wont play his heart out for the club as he is only motivated by money" attitude is laughable. Whatever club Samu plays for gets a seriously dedicated player. Shit, it might cost a small fortune, but as I said earlier, he is a workhorse for the team.
