Playing football is fun, but professional footballers want to be paid for it. And the more the better. After all, isn’t that how this whole Saudi madness started? Well, it’s happening everywhere.If you don’t remember Phil Jones – we forgive you. There is probably quite a few people who have forgotten about the guy. But we here at Mozzart Sport Kenya are slightly obsessed with Phil. Everything about him is interesting: his face, his spirit and his unquestionable desire to overcome his injuries and get back to playing. And it has to be said, we admire his greed.##NAJAVA_MECA_7365198##Greek Super League club Aris Thessaloniki have gotten in touch with the recently-released English defender to see if he’d be in the mood to try playing a bit of football far from the bad memories and people who ridicule him in his homeland. Playing in Greece is not very glamorous, but it’s something at least. You’d think that moving to a country with nicer weather, beautiful seaside and inviting cuisine would be welcomed by the guy who spent years in rainy Manchester trying to get fit. And you’d be wrong.The streets will never forget when Phil Jones tackled with a head. #MUFC 😭 pic.twitter.com/J5TEL6N8Yb— United Radar (@UnitedRadar) July 6, 2023 According to the Greek publication Gazzetta, the first round of talks failed because Aris couldn’t meet the player’s wage demands. However, it looks like the yellow-blacks of Thessaloniki are still adamant about signing the former England international to help their title chances in the 2023/24 season.The club from the second-biggest Greek city will participate in the Europa Conference League qualification rounds thanks to their fifth-place finish in the Greek Super League last season. You could say they have passionate fans, a rich history, beautiful seaside and a healthy sporting ambition. But they just don’t seem to have enough money to get pensioner Jones to start acting like an athlete.
