Highest Paid Player

Claudio Piojo Lopez(America) is the highest paid
Jared Borgetti(Pachuca) is the highest paid Mexican (over $3million) per year

I think this is correct ,but i don't know the actual figures.....
cuatemoc blanco is 2nd highest mexican

 

I can't believe those two make more than Delgado of Cruz Azul, clearly a better player, despite his decrease in production after his injury.

 

Piojo isnt the highest paid player in the MFL.

Blanco is. Blanco's salary went up after America tried to get him back from Veracruz.

 

anyone know how much Marquez gets paid?

I think Zidane is the highest paid player in the world. I think it's somewhere around 60 million (i think?) can anyone confirm this?

 

Nope, its Beckham and Ronaldo, followed by Zidane at 3rd place

 

How much do they make?

 

Beckham makes US$26.8 million per year..
You will see various figures because of endorsements.. This article has Beckham and Zidane..

"The Manchester United soccer star earns more than that in a fortnight! France's Football magazine this week put Beckham's earnings (including salaries, bonuses, endorsements and image rights) at $26.75 million a year, making him the world's highest-paid soccer player, ahead of his closest rival, Real Madrid's Zinedine Zidane. It is estimated Beckham is paid $11.77million in salary and $14.98 million in endorsements."

Beckham makes $7.6 million a year.

This says his salary is $8 million, from France Football magazine.

 

Zidane has the record for the biggest transfer fee, around $60 million. But that's not salary.

 

Which makes them all poor people compared to A Rod's 25.2 million a year not including endorsments..
