Lionel Messi remains the highest-paid player in Major League Soccer, earning an annual base salary of $25 million (£18.5 million). This substantial figure more than doubles that of the league’s next highest earner.
The figures, released by the MLS Players Association, are linked to the contract extension Messi signed with Inter Miami in October. His overall guaranteed compensation for the deal stands at $28.3 million (£20.9 million).
