“Top-earning Swiss players in the American MLS: Xherdan Shaqiri leads the way”

2023-05-23 10:16:26

As every year, the American MLS published the salaries of all players. And who are the top earners in the league? Two Swiss are right at the top of this list. Nati star Xherdan Shaqiri has his North American adventure gilded. The 31-year-old brings in 8.1 million Swiss francs a year. This means that the winger accounts for more than 40 percent of his employer’s Chicago Fire wage costs. Behind the two-time Champions League winner are former Italian international Lorenzo Insigne (7.5 million) and ex-Man United star Chicharito (7.4 million).

St.Louis goalie Roman Bürki is the best paid in his position. And by far. The former BVB man earns 1.6 million francs, twice as much as the second best earner. When asked whether the transparency of wages bothered him, the 32-year-old said to 20 minutes: “It doesn’t bother me at all. It was never about earning as much as possible for me.” It is also about half of what he earned in the Bundesliga. The other two MLS Swiss Eldin Jakupovic (LAFC) with 112,000 francs and Maren Haile-Selassie (Chicago Fire) with 280,000 francs have to bake smaller rolls. (dma)
