it makes sense. He has an insanely inflated ego, his quality on the pitch has regressed dramatically and he was still asking for ridiculous wages ... no club in Europe was going to touch that. So if you have to go into football exile, you might as well squeeze out very penny you can. In Saudi Arabia, he'll also still be treated like a king and he'll love that. It's a much more fitting end to his career at the top level than him accepting a part-time role and being a team player.
