Emil Forsberg salary: How much does New York Red Bulls star earn per week and annually in MLS?

Under his current contract at the New York Red Bulls, Forsberg earns $116,069 (£89,508) on a weekly basis.

Meanwhile, his numbers annually scale up to $6.03 million (£4.65 m) making him the highest-earner at the club by quite some distance.

As we saw, Forsberg sits comfortably at the top of the wage bill at the New York Red Bulls. Following him is Scottish winger Lewis Morgan at second place.

Meanwhile, making the cut at number three is Felipe Carballo, followed by Kyle Duncan and Carlos Coronel at fourth and fifth spots, respectively.

Forsberg is the only New York Red Bulls player to the top five when it comes to the highest-paid players across the league.

The crown currently belongs to the Argentine icon Lionel Messi.

Meanwhile, Insigne follows in second place, followed by another former Barcelona star in Sergio Busquets.

Federico Bernardeschi appears at number four on the list, with Forsberg completing the top five.

Although MLS players earn substantial wages, their salaries appear modest compared to the world's top earners, with none making the top five list.

At the top is the ageless Cristiano Ronaldo, who plays for Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr. In second place is Al Ittihad's Karim Benzema, while Riyad Mahrez of Al Ahli secures the third spot.

Meanwhile, Senegalese internationals Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly round off the list at third and fourth position, repectively.
