Benzema offered £395mil a season by Saudi club


He must be on minimum £300k per week at Real Madrid. I understand it’s a monumental jump in wages. But what could he do with that money, that he can’t already do?

He’s already secured his family for generation after generation.

Buy a better yacht, or a better Da Vinci painting, theres always something you cant afford.
 
Didn't the Chinese try doing this a few year back? Take players over there on mental contracts and then it just stopped. This is on another level all together mind.

Probably buy a big fuk off superyacht
 
Remember when the chinese clubs were paying daft money a few years ago?
Loads of those clubs don't exist anymore

In my lifetime we’ve had USA, China, Dubai, Japan and now KSA. I don’t think any of the investments have been worthwhile although old footballers would disagree.

Oscar the brazilian player who used to play for Chelsea went over for the money, £400,000 a week wage and signed for Shanghai Port, still is over there but says he wants to come back to Europe after his contract is over.

They all fail because ultimately nobody native to those countries give a long term fuck. Football only thrives in Europe for decades because it is a way of life. Most British football fans are committed for life. The Americans, Chinese, Japanese etc just got bored. It’ll happen with KSA eventually.

London could create an NFL team and offer Tom Brady £500m a year but nobody over here would give a shit.
