  • It’s his decision but in my own opinion at this stage of his career money shouldn’t be the most. Once he makes name worldwide money will come.

    • Maybe you should tell that to an European footballer that have everything to fall back to after retirement.

  • Football is all about making money, with this can deal please grab it, this the reason I have much love on Christiano Ronaldo, Osimhen no one should deceived you
