Beckham Has a Good Deal in LA
Despite just one career MLS goal, David Beckham still earns fifty times Major League Soccer’s average salary, even with it rising twelve percent to $129,395 this season.
Earning $6.5 million in guaranteed income, Beckham is currently making twice as much as the second-highest-paid player in the league, the Chicago Fire’s Cuauhtemoc Blanco, who earns $2,666,778 a year.
D.C. United’s Marcelo Gallardo is the league’s third highest paid at $1,874,006, followed by New York’s Juan Pablo Angel ($1,593,750) and Claudio Reyna ($1,265,000), and the Galaxy’s Landon Donovan ($900,000).
Forty-six players earn the league minimum of $33,000, while developmental players, 30, earn somewhere between $17,700 and $12,900 per season.
I’d say that Becks has a pretty good deal going here in Los Angeles.
