Ighalo claims that Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo moved to the Middle East country for the sake of money. There is no passion for football. The Nigerian star admitted that he went there for money. He said, “At a young age you must have passion. At that time you will not consider money. All my life I have played with emotions. Now I am playing for money. I’m not one of those players who say ‘I play for love’. At the end of the day, there is only money that matters.”

Referring to Ronaldo, Ighalo said, is he playing out of love? He has earned at least a hundred times more than I have earned in my entire life. Still, he went to Saudi Arabia. Did he go to the chase of passion? Went for the money. At the end of last year, Ronaldo joined Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr for a record fee.
