Taiwo Awoniyi says he would have earned more money if he took up the option of remaining in England as opposed to his move to German side Union Berlin.
Awoniyi made a permanent move to the German side where he spent last season on loan. A move which came as a shock to many because after five years he was finally granted a work permit.
Many expected him to push for a spot in the Liverpool side or better still accept the option of going on loan to another English side but the 23 year old revealed he insisted on a move to Union Berlin.
According to Awoniyi he want to go to a team where he is sure to play and also develop further instead of staying in England where he would have made more money.
“It was an easy decision, but also a difficult one”, Awoniyi told the Berliner Morgenpost.
“If I had stayed in England it would have been good for me too, then I would definitely have made more money.
“But I wanted to go to a club where I was welcome and part of the team. It is not always about money”, he added.
