Toni Kroos slams Saudi Pro League

In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Toni Kroos stated “It has been said that they play ambitious football there, but it’s all about the money. In the end, it’s a decision for the money and against football.

“Everyone has to make that decision for themselves, like Cristiano Ronaldo, who decided to do it towards the end of his career. But it becomes very difficult when players, who are in the middle of their career and have the quality to play for the best clubs in Europe, decide to make those changes.”
