'I would not play many games... but I didn't give a f***': Alex Song reveals he 'didn't think twice' about 2012 move to Barcelona from Arsenal after knowing he would become a millionaire

Alex Song has opened up on his obsession with money and revealed he 'didn't think twice' about leaving Arsenal for Barcelona once he learnt how much he would be earning at the Camp Nou.

Cameroon midfielder Song made the £15million switch from London to Catalonia in the summer of 2012.

Now the 32-year-old, who was sacked by Swiss club FC Sion in March for refusing to take a pay-cut amid the coronavirus pandemic, has explained how the decision eight years ago was not difficult due to the finances involved.
