The Europe – Saudi Arabia route continues and several footballers, from the top leagues, choose to follow his example Cristiano Ronaldo.
The captain of Manchester City, Kyle Walker he commented on this particular event when he was asked to answer a question about the future of his football career. The 33-year-old full-back stated that the financial factor is very important for the decisions of an athlete, while he emphasized that in the immediate future he wishes to remain in the Premier League.
“Never say never. The money they pay and all that is obviously a big factor why they go there. Ronaldo paved the way for everyone to go to Arabia. If they keep attracting the footballers they bring in the league will get better so why wouldn’t you want to go?he said and went on to say:
“For me the Premier League is the best league in the world, so I want to play in it for as long as possible and get as high as possible. I will continue to play as long as my legs are doing well and I still feel like I can contribute at a certain level. I would like to finish my career at Sheffield United».
Sheffield is Kyle Walker’s first professional club and it seems he wants to honor them at the end of his career. He then played at Tottenham, where he “built” his name and in July 2017 he was acquired by Manchester City for €52 million.
The Englishman is again this year a point of reference for him Pep Guardiolahaving recorded 37 appearances and three assists in all competitions.
