The salaries of the highest paid MLS stars were made public on Tuesday, and amongst the top earners there are some very familiar names.
MLS remains the fastest growing football league in the world, and a whole host of stars continue to migrate from Europe as players want a piece of the action. In recent years the likes of Gareth Bale, Giorgio Chiellini and Lorenzo Insigne have all signed for MLS teams, but players of that stature don't come cheaply.
There may have been a recent drop off in star MLS players that formerly succeeded in Europe, with Bale retiring and former Manchester United players Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Nani moving back overseas. But there's still some eye-watering salaries for those that have remained, with former Liverpool star Xherdan Shaqiri the top earner for the 2023 season.
