I don’t think this comes into it at all actually. Players are pretty rational about other teams.

As I said earlier, I think only explanation, and he will never say it until it happens, but he ends in Philly in the next couple years. It's Philly or bust, today or 2 years or 4 years from now. He wants to play there. This deal is a placeholder to get paid,get into the US and get closer to family.
He will demand an exit in 2 or 3 seasons or less when they have finances in order. If he went to NJ today or NYI they wouldn't trade him to division rival Philly in 2 years, but Clb doesn't really care.
