On its official website, the MLS Professional Players Association published a few weeks ago the list of athletes currently in United States football and their respective annual salaries, which are added to compensation per season. And as for the Colombians, those in the first two places are two forwards: Luis Fernando Muriel and Juan Camilo ‘Cucho’ Hernández.
Muriel arrived at Orlando City in 2024 from Atalanta, from the Italian soccer series, and did so to have an annual income of more than 2.8 million dollars (about 11 billion pesos), which places him in the lead of those who earn the most money among our people. Meanwhile, Hernández, from the Columbus Crew, ‘puts into his pocket’ 2.6 million dollars each season (more than 10 billion pesos).
To complete the top-5 Colombians in this section, we must mention Jesús Ferreira, from Dallas with a salary of 2 million dollars; Cristian Arango, from Real Salt Lake; with more than 1.8 million and Cristian Dájome, from DC United, with 900 thousand dollars.
