Toronto FC has taken MLS pay to new heights with Italian star Lorenzo Insigne making $14 million US annually, according to new figures released by the Major League Soccer Players Association.
At $14 million, Insigne's annual average guaranteed compensation is $5.187 million more than Chicago's Xherdan Shaqiri, who topped the May salary figures at $8.153 million.
Shaqiri drops to No. 2 in the latest salary figures, with Los Angeles Galaxy forward Javier Hernandez third at $7.444 million.
The Players Association says Insigne's $14 million is his annualized salary based on a partial-year contract. His full pay would rank him No.
