After signing up with the Qatari club Al Ahli, former Parisian Julian Draxler made some rather unusual comments in high-level football.

Former PSG striker Julian Draxler has revealed his reasons for signing with Qatari side Al Ahli SC.

Draxler candid about his motivations

Aged 29, Draxler took charge of Qatar this week after being deemed undesirable at PSG. The German could have stayed in a major championship, but he was attracted by the golden contract he was offered in the Gulf. A motivation that he did not try to hide.

“I could now say that after twelve years in Europe, I would like to experience a new culture, gain international experience, be part of an exciting project and completely ignore the subject of money”, Draxler told BILD. “ Even though these things are true, I would be lying if I said that the financial aspect did not play a decisive role in my transfer. »

Draxler has signed a deal until 2025 with his new team. Enough to fill his bank account, even if his emoluments in the French capital were far from scandalous (850,000 euros gross per month).
