Loyalty is hard to come by in modern-day football and the bug has also been felt in the English Premier League.
Some players remained at one club throughout their career due to their love for their employers, some of those players include Ryan Giggs and Tony Adams.
However, given the nature of modern-day football and the need for club to always rejig their squad to be the best, clubs often get rid of players to accommodate more.
In addition to this, some might say there is a scarcity of talents that clubs wouldn't want to do away with, as almost every player in today's world is dispensable and can also be bought through money.
