Former Liverpool winger Xherdan Shaqiri is the highest paid player in America’s Major League Soccer.
The 31-year-old, who plays for MLS side Chicago Fire, had a salary of $8.15m (£6.55m) during his first season Stateside, according to figures published by the league.
Shaqiri, who arrived at Liverpool from Stoke City in 2018 before departing in the summer of 2021 for Lyon in a £5m-plus deal, joined the Fire last season and made 29 appearances and netted seven goals in his maiden campaign for the club.
