The wife group is not accustomed to the local environment, and the Premier League is facing the risk of losing its stars

The Premier League is beginning to worry about the loss of some stars due to non-professional reasons.

According to the "Irish Sunday Mirror" report, many wives or girlfriends of foreign players in the Premier League find it difficult to adapt to the living environment in England in terms of weather, diet, and lifestyle. This dissatisfaction may directly lead to the player's decision to leave. To eliminate this risk, some clubs have begun hiring "nanny teams" to help players' wives and girlfriends adjust to their new surroundings. Expert Hugo Scheckter warns that this is a serious problem: "Many players are very stable, but their spouses are not. This will make the players want to leave the club, and for the club, this is a disaster."

Over the years, many members of the wives group have publicly expressed their discomfort living in England. The most well-known is Di Maria's wife, Giorgina Cardoso. She described Manchester as "unlivable", with a cold climate and poor food. She said she begged her husband not to join Manchester United in 2014, calling her time in England a "nightmare".

Sarah Alfawi, the wife of former Manchester City midfielder Gundogan, also complained about the food in Manchester City, saying that it was difficult to find "fresh and authentic" food. She said many restaurants focus on selling alcohol rather than the quality of food. But after Gundogan moved to Barcelona, ​​Alfavi admitted she missed Manchester because she had developed a close circle of friends there.

The issue of integrating wives into the team is already a commonplace, but it is gradually becoming one of the factors that directly affects the choice of top stars. This is a worrying sign for the Premier League. As competition for players in major leagues becomes increasingly fierce, retaining talent is a top priority.
