Reijnders, who joined Saudi club Al-Qadsiah from Manchester City this summer, said in an interview: "I'm not going to lie. With this contract, I can ensure my grandchildren will be financially secure, so why wouldn't I do it?"
When you decide to transfer to the Saudi League, some people accuse you of doing it just to "line your own pockets."
Reijnders: "I really can't blame them. But when you receive such a salary offer, try to refuse it. Everyone can take the moral high ground and say 'I would never do that,' but I'm very sure that most people would accept it."
That's a fair point, but you were also earning a pretty good salary at Manchester City.
Reijnders: "Of course, we're talking about a salary that's almost impossible to refuse."
"This transfer allows me to secure the future of my family's next generation. I won't lie about that. With this contract, I can ensure my grandchildren will be financially secure, so why wouldn't I do it?"

Good thinking Reijender,more money 💰 is better than more trophies 🏆. game is not a passion anymore is a business,money whiz,money talk if you don’t understand money language,later in life you will be broke or end up be homeless.

Good luck because it's all about the money....happy to hear you say your grandchildren will be good to go financially because of their grandfather...if only everyone can do what you are doing not only for your children but grandchildren..what a world could be.

This is a reason I said Mbappe is useless man, saudia club try to sign him for only 1 year with agreement to sale him next year on a contract that he can earn more than what Christiano Ronaldo Earn his entire career. from That time I am his fan buy now I hate him.
