Loyalty in football is a no-go, neither from clubs or players – just look at the situation with Gianluigi Donnarumma and PSG this week. Look what’s happened to him, the form he was in and what he did last year to help PSG achieve their dream, and yet the club come to him and say, “We’re getting rid of you, we don’t fancy you anymore, despite what you’ve done for us.”
So, where’s the loyalty there? I get clubs and football players, there is no loyalty, clubs look after themselves and players look after themselves, but there’s a way of doing things . The way that Alex [Isak] is doing this at the moment is not the right way.
