Interesting article, but basically it just seems he took the pay day as a big publicity stunt. That's just my opinion at least. Here's some quotes:

quote:
"What it's allowed me to do is just play. When we go out for training, most guys are moping. I'm running out ready to get the ball. Because I don't have the weight of having to succeed or having to be one of the people that's helping the team win every day."
Donovan, 36, says his third comeback in five years is not about winning, or really even about playing. He's already done plenty of both, capturing a record six Major League Soccer titles with the Galaxy and San Jose Earthquakes and ranking second in games played with the U.S. national team. He says he's come to Leon to help mentor the young players. "I've played enough soccer games in my life," Donovan said. "I don't need any more."
Whatever his motivation, Donovan's salary is reportedly about $3 million, more than he made in his second-to-last full season with the Galaxy. It makes him among the highest-paid players in the Mexican league.

Article doesn't actually give a whole lot of info.
Donovan strikes me as a dude who has learned to give no fricks and does things for the simple reason of "I want to do it." Good for him, he's earned it. If he can go make a few bucks in Mehico off of his notoriety there, more power to him.

He’ll be great to have in the 2022 WC.
