How many top players nowadays have that attitude where if they were playing for their boyhood club would turn down the opportunity to play elsewhere for more money? Off the top of my head, of the players still playing today, I could only think of Messi who has rejected more money in order to stay at the club that he has played for since the age of 13. So, is loyalty in football just a romantic idea? Certainly, when it comes to money it seems to be.
