Inter Miami striker Lionel Messi won the MLS Golden Boot in 2025. Messi will receive an annual salary of $12 million (about 17 billion won) and a total guarantee of $20.4 million (about 28.9 billion won) at Inter Miami.
Thomas Muller of the Vancouver Whitecaps paid only 1.4 million dollars (about 2 billion won). In other words, it is one-eighth of Son Heung-min. Attention is focusing on whether Son Heung-min, who receives the second-highest annual salary in MLS, will perform well in the playoffs and pay the money properly.
