Two more years there and he’ll never need to work again (probably doesn’t need to anyway in reality, but possibly doubling his wealth in a short period).
He went for the money pure and simple, and it’s ended up costing him a fortune and effectively ending his top-flight and probably England career. He was Liverpool captain when he jumped.
Don’t think so. There is no personal tax in Saudi Arabia, but he needs to be out of the UK for specified period (think it’s 2 years) to avoid getting hammered here.
