Footballers can have different goals or aspirations, but something that everyone wants is to play at the highest level and get to win everything, for this reason most are always willing to accept an offer from an elite club, during such departures is always good to cut a relationship as friendly as possible, thanking and leaving the doors open to a possible return to the club that saw you born or to finish the football career, this can be something that will please the fans, as they will realize that because you have taken that decision.

That is to say, as a player I would leave the club in search of excelling more in my career, but trying to be liked by everyone and not be criticized, for example: There are players who have been applauded by the toughest fans in the world or even by opposing teams, as has happened to Ronaldinho.

As you can notice I deviated from the original question and it is because as a player regardless of the decisions we make we must always have a good way of acting to have the doors open anywhere and get to meet our aspirations, that way you can not be seen as treacherous, on the contrary and even the fans can come to blame the board for your departure, as is the case of Messi, a beloved player who sought other opportunities and that surely in a return will be welcomed in the best way.

In the end these decisions are made looking to grow as a person or athlete, it is not only economic, it is to achieve our goals and dreams.
