Javier Hernández was, at times, the face of Mexican soccer in recent years. The attacker trained in Chivas de Guadalajara took the banner of great players like Hugo Sánchez and Rafa Márquez . Chicharito today plays in the MLS and throughout his career has been characterized by having one of the highest salaries for a player from Mexico.
Chicharito is one of the most important players in the Los Angeles Galaxy. The Mexican has the great distinction of “franchise player” , a rule that allows him to collect a salary above of the salary cap. The United States teams have a limited quota for these players and Javier Hernández occupies one of those places.
The Aztec attacker played in major teams in Europe. Javier Hernández defended the shirts of truly millionaire clubs that did not shake his pulse to pay large amounts of money . Chicharito played in powerful clubs such as Manchester United, Real Madrid and, in another step, Sevilla and Bayer Leverkusen.
Interestingly, even though it is not at the highest point of his career, Javier Hernández is earning his second highest salary of his entire internship in football . Without a doubt, this is one more example of the economic power of the MLS, the main weapon to convince great soccer players from all over the world.
The five best salaries in Chicharito’s career
5- Manchester United (2014) $4.9 million dollars per year.
4- Real Madrid (2017) $4.9 million dollars per year.
I see many criticizing Chicharito. Many whom probably were Chicha fan boys back in the day when he played for Man U and/or Real Madrid.
Of course he’s not the best player we’ve ever had, but imagine being in that position now. Anyway, the hypocrisy. #Chicharito #MLS #Mexicano pic.twitter.com/MY2fH5Rg75— RxMxF (@RealMexFrank) October 27, 2022
3- Bayer Leverkusen (2017) $5.8 million dollars annually.
2- Los Angeles Galaxy ( 2020) $6 million dollars annually.
1 – West Ham United (2018) $9.7 million dollars annually.
