Real Madrid star Toni Kroos slammed Celta Vigo starlet Gabri Veiga after the youngster reportedly agrees to to join Saudi side Al-Ahli.
"Everyone goes there for the money. You can find that good or not," he stated.
"What I just roughly differentiate is, for example, a change from Cristiano or Benzema, who are heading there towards the end of their career. They've won everything, have legendary status, achieved everything and then let their careers coast to a halt and take this unbelievable money with them. "What I have a problem with are the 26, 27, 28-year-olds, who have absolutely top quality, play in top clubs in Europe and have the chance to achieve that in the next three or four years what others who are going there have already achieved. I'm not a fan of that. It's an incredibly bad example for a lot of young youth players that the motivation is money. I think it's a pity for everyone who puts sporting thoughts to the back of their minds in the absolute top football age.
“The boy has an opportunity, it is also an opportunity for his family," he told reporters. "We cannot forget that. It is a decision he will have to make. The club did not want to sell him, and he is in a situation that can be advantageous with financial control limiting him. “When important offers come in, you assess the financial aspect for the club and the interest of the player. At the beginning we thought he could go to a team playing Champions League football. Then the situation changed."Kroos and Real Madrid face Veiga's Celta Vigo side next in La Liga on Friday. Benitez also confirmed Veiga will not be in the squad for the match.
