Top European players can earn around €90,000 each week and with this kind of salary they don’t have to worry about paying bills or buying luxurious items as it arrives to them without having to spend a substantially long period of time saving up money.

However, this is not the case with the Major League Soccer as the sport is not such a big thing in United States in comparison to some of their most well established sports such as Basketball or American Football.

Players that are performing in the NBA, MLB, NHL and NFL have top-ranking deals and comparing them to what an average player earns in the MLS can be very disappointing for the professional athletes that have to work just as hard as any other but get paid significantly lower than their counterparts.

With the exception of only a few players in the MLS, the average annual salaries of players that are performing in the American League don’t even reach the region of $60,000.

There are a total of 572 players currently performing in the MLS and only 23 of them have the privilege of earning more than the minimum salary of players in the NHL which is around $550,000.

This financial gap that exists between the MLS and the rest of the top European leagues in the world of soccer is one of the reasons on why the American League is not such an attractive football destination compared to other leagues.

The United States have more predominant sports than Soccer and this is why it doesn’t have such a big importance or influence in the country compared to others but there have already been plans which has been made to the public with the objective of turning it into a much more viable destination to play and compete against the best leagues in the world.
