Inter Miami’s Argentine forward is predicted to top the table with a guaranteed salary of $20.4 million per season. The amount does not include sponsorship and other payments.
The Italian forward of Toronto Lorenzo Insigne is in the second position with 15 million guaranteed payments, and the top 3 is closed by the Swiss midfielder of Chicago Xherdan Shaqiri – 8.1 million.
As for Messi’s teammate, Ukrainian Inter defender Sergei Krivtsov, he will receive $614 thousand at the end of the season.
