Julian Draxler has been transferred from PSG to Al Ahli SC in Qatar, and he admits it’s a financial choice.
After seven years at PSG, Julian Draxler is bidding farewell to top-level football and heading to Qatar. He readily admits that this choice is purely financial. “I could say that after 12 years in Europe, all that matters to me is experiencing a new culture, living a new international experience, being part of a project in the Arab world, and ignoring the topic of money. Although these aspects are honestly true, I would be lying if I said that the financial aspect wasn’t also crucial in this decision,” the 30-year-old player explained.
“In the end, I came to the conclusion that this new financial environment offers me even more options, both for my family and for other projects outside the field,” he told Sport Bild.
Julian Draxler was earning approximately 5 million euros per season at PSG, so the salary in Qatar is likely much higher.
