The MLS Players Union released the salaries of every player in the league on Wednesday, with Lionel Messi, Lorenzo Insigne, and Sergio Busquets headlining the list.
Messi is unsurprisingly MLS’s highest-paid player, currently earning $20.4 million for Inter Miami. The 36-year-old has scored 10 goals and registered 12 assists in 10 league appearances so far during the 2024 league campaign.
Toronto FC’s Insigne has featured in seven league matches to date and is set to earn $15.4 million this season. Busquets has totaled one goal and three assists in 14 league appearances for the Herons.
Chicago Fire attacker Xherdan Shaqiri and Austin FC playmaker Sebastian Driussi round out the top five earners in MLS. Shaqiri will earn just under $8.2 million in guaranteed compensation while Driussi is making just over $6.7 million.
Duncan McGuire, Obed Vargas, Ian Murphy, and Bernard Kamungo are among the consistent MLS performers that surprisingly will earn less than $100,000 this season.
Here is a rundown of the highest-paid players in MLS:
