yes it is for money. he is 31 and when he will join Galaxy, he will be 32. There will not not much football left in him and he will not be getting better for sure. I dont thin kgalaxy paid them 250 million for nothing. He is a biggest sport star in the world and can sell a lot of t shirts and can earn a lot from endorsement. this is the biggest money paid to any athlete in any sports anywhere in the world until today. i guess, they paid for his image rather than his skill.
