Inter Miami's Lionel Messi made headlines with his groundbreaking $150 million contract last year, reshaping Major League Soccer (MLS) with his arrival.

Messi's contract with David Beckham's Inter Miami guarantees him a base salary of $12 million, totaling over $20.4 million, as reported by Sporting News.

Yet, in the MLS, players are commanding even higher salaries, eclipsing the Argentine legend. Here are two players who outearn Messi:

In 2022, Toronto FC secured the services of star Lorenzo Insigne, signing him to a four-year deal running through June 2026.

Insigne's contract reportedly pays him over $15 million annually (pre-tax), marking a significant milestone in MLS salary standards, according to Bolavip.

Dubbed the "King of Toronto," former Toronto FC star Michael Bradley reigns as the highest-paid player in MLS.

With seven seasons in Toronto, Bradley has amassed a staggering salary, reportedly nearing $45 million, as noted by Bolavip.

While Messi currently trails these players in earnings, speculation suggests he may surpass them by winter 2025 unless he parts ways with Miami before then.
