"I can't say I was just after the money, but I can't deny it either. The salary they're offering is something anyone would try to turn down. We can all pretend to be principled and say, 'I wouldn't do that,' but I think most would say yes. Money certainly plays a part. After my football career is over, I don't want to work again. Now I can help the future generations of my family. I won't lie, if my grandchildren can now not work, then why don't I try?" - Goal portal quotes Reynders as saying.
