Federico Bernardeschi salary: How much does Toronto FC star earn per week and annually in MLS?

Bernardeschi signed a four-year contract as he joined Toronto in 2022.

The Italian earns $121,065 (£93,221) on a weekly basis playing in Canada, while his annual salary scales up to $6.3 million (£4.8m).

This makes him the second-highest earner at the club after Lorenzo Insigne.

Insigne sits comfortably at the top of Toronto's wage bill, earning more than double that of second-placed Bernardeschi.

Following the former Serie A stars are Canadian internationals Richie Laryea and Jonathan Osorio, occupying the third and fourth spots, respectively.

Meanwhile, rounding off the top five at number five is Norwegian center-back Sigurd Rosted.

At the top sits Argentine icon Lionel Messi.

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

Federico Bernardeschi is the second Toronto star in the top five and Emil Forsberg complete the illustrious list.

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.
