#1 Because in the end, football is not just about money
Although the astronomical transfer figures might recite a different tale, but football is best played with 22 mad men and a spherical object. Money is the commercial catalyst which has been associated since football became a business. There are dedicated academic deciphering the same and professionals making a living therein.
All of this is redolent of a changing system of world football. But, the fans would not wish their costliest player to put up an abysmal performance. Instead, they’d any day prefer a lesser known face, creating magic on the field. It is this magic which still rules the show in the game of football. Therefore, if a club feels, their interest in the beautiful game, is best served outside the national league- it is not an erroneous belief. They deserve accolades for their bravado and nothing but respect for the courageous move.
