I think what we are seeing is some of these 30+ year old guys are just making so much money it isn't worth it to a team to pay them. PSG was getting what maybe 30 games out of Neymar a year and he was making around $70 Million I think.
What team in Europe would pay a transfer fee and $70 million a year for the guy?
Sad to see it as I was afraid stuff like this would start happening but I really figured it would be guys in their late 30s like Ronaldo was.
You get to a certain point in salary and there are only a handful of teams that can afford you. PSG made a good decision moving him.
