Thierry Henry’s star may still shine, but he’s no longer the financial king of MLS. Despite earning €3.14 million annually, the New York Red Bulls striker now sits sixth in the salary rankings of Major League Soccer. That’s a drop from last season when he topped the list with $4.35 million (€3.3 million).
Here’s a quick look at the top earners now:
Clint Dempsey (Seattle Sounders) – €4.8 million
Michael Bradley (Toronto FC) – over €4.4 million
Jermain Defoe (Toronto FC) – €4.4 million
Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy) – €3.3 million
Robbie Keane (LA Galaxy) – €3.2 million
Thierry Henry (NY Red Bulls) – €3.14 million
Meanwhile, Henry’s Red Bulls are off to a poor start in the league with zero wins in six matches, further compounding his challenges on and off the pitch.
