Zlatan Ibrahimovic says footballers who move to Saudi Arabia risk their legacies becoming about money rather than talent.

The Swede, 42, retired in June at AC Milan after a trophy-laden career.

 

"I think players that reach a certain level, they have to stop at a certain stage - the big stage."

 

"You have to be remembered for your talent, not for what you earned.

'What we are training every day for, what we are being recognised for is our talent, and that is what you want to be remembered for.

"You cannot [move to] a lower stage and finish your career in a different way. But some players needed the situations where you can earn a lot of money because they didn't earn enough."

 Saudi Arabia are looking to recruit leading referees from the Premier League and across Europe on a full-time basis. (Source: )

Yeah good luck making the same mistakes with the Shieks favourite Club. Please take them AI should be taking those positions soon enough.

He’s right. The Saudi league is still ranked relatively low (27th in the world). It is on its way to top 10 but not there yet.

 

He’d be playing in Saudi had he not been 42 and retired. The opportunity has passed him by.
