Norwegian Striker Rejects IDR 14.3 Billion Contract from Israeli Club: Blood Money

Jakarta, Todaysgist.com – Ole Saeter, the Norwegian striker who still plays for Rosenborg BK, has rejected a fantastic offer from Israeli football club Maccabi Haifa. Reportedly Ynet NewsFriday (20/9/2024), Ole Saeter did not accept a contract offer of 850,000 euros or equivalent to Rp. 14.3 billion to move from Rosenborg BK to Maccabi Haifa.

“I choose humanity over blood money. Even if I were offered billions, I would not move there,” Ole Saeter explained.

Furthermore, the footballer born on March 30, 1996 said that Maccabi Haifa is part of the Israeli Zionists. Defending Maccabi Haifa automatically means defending the Israeli Zionists with all their crimes against the Palestinian people.

“I will not represent a country that perpetuates insecurity and crime by killing innocent people. No amount of money can buy my values,” he said.

He even admitted that he did not care if his attitude was criticized by many people. Likewise with the statements he made after rejecting the offer from Maccabi Haifa.

For him, the move was an effort to side with humanity. He did not want to stand and take advantage of a party that he thought had committed crimes against humanity.

According to him, it is very unreasonable if there are still people or footballers who choose to take advantage of the symbols of the Zionist Israel. Moreover, at the same time many Palestinian people are victims of the crimes committed by the Zionist Israel.

“I believe in my values ​​and I’m happy to stand up for what I think is right. I don’t want that kind of money in my account. There are people out there who can’t live safely in their own homes. That’s just crazy. There’s no way I’m going to represent a country that acts like that,” he concluded.
