To the tune of £20m a year in salary, I would if I was him. Even if he stayed for 3 years and came back he'd be 31 and could have a few years in a top league.

Obscene money.
I wonder how many other teams were interested, but the money was too good to turn down.

After 6 plus (maybe more) years of being linked with SMS we can finally put it to bed.
Bloody hell. Is that a net figure or gross? Still way more than anyone in Europe would be willing to pay him.
Crazy that Lazio always wanted crazy money for him and now he leaves for "just" 40 million.
Found his level.
Nah, he's a very good player but the money he'll be earning is mental.
Because they wanted way too much when his hype was at its peak. Now after 3 years of being no better than just decent they've probably done well to get 40 for him.
What’s going to happen to all these players if the SA doesn’t grow?
What a clown their president is 
Finally he went somewhere, I swear every year there has been talk about him leaving for some top club.
Still only 28? I was sure he turned 30 already.
Him again?
The same that happened to those who went to China. They’ll go back home or to another league and laugh their asses of because someone paid them all this obscene money.
They’ll stay, finish up their contracts and move somewhere else at the end.
Imagine turning down €140m for this guy and then telling everyone about it?What a clown their president is
Does it really matter? They can easily run at a loss for a lot longer than the Chinese league
At least we can stop being linked to him every year now
Most of these guys don't care about the actual clubs, but they care about fan adoration, and turning down the money looks good and buys them some time, keeping a fan favorite.
The jump in salary is huge for him. No wonder he took that offer
Just wait until the Saudi league goes tits up and we're the only team that can offered to offer a big salary...
Yeah that’s him and Neves out of the equation. The transfer hacks won’t know what to write about!!
20m a year is absolutely mental. He’s probably only made about half of that his entire career!
I think the end goal is to have some of their clubs join the inevitable Super League. Until then, they'll keep buying players to stay relevant.
The big thing KSA has over China is its relative proximity to Europe. There'd still be plenty of logistical issues to overcome if they wanted weekly games with English or Spanish clubs, but they're at least closer than some of the teams United have played in Europe in recent years.
They only care about their next WC bid really
He has been at Lazio for 8 years. And he’s been earning around 6M/year (3,2M after taxes)… Their highest earner alongside Immobile… So he’s probably already made more than 20M over this period. But still insane to make the same amount in one year…
He is getting his net salary multiplied by 6… Had he joined a bigger European club he’d be expecting to double his Lazio wage, but not more.
Yeah with a minimum of fuss and hes gone. Just shows how mental the valuations have been in Italy over the last few years. Imagine what they could have done with the money they have left on the table by pricing players out of moves.
The serbian Pogba, he was supposed to be the next big thing 4-5 years ago. Now he's going to saudi arabia Lazio's president must be delighted.
