The highest paid players in Liga MX are not always the best performers, but they are the ones who have become stars in Mexican football.
In every transfer market, there are usually bombshells on the Liga MX. This is the name given to the unexpected transfers that teams make, as stars who play in other leagues around the world, and who we have come to see as unattainable, end up playing in Mexico.
Many say that the Liga MX is usually not very attractive, but it gets all this because of the money that they have. Here we tell you who are the highest paid players in Liga MX.
The 5 Highest Paid Players in Liga MX in Apertura 2022
5.- Guido Pizarro
The Argentine player joined Tigres in the 2013-14 season, and was so successful in Mexican soccer that he had a brief spell in Europe, where he played for Sevilla. He returned to Mexican soccer with the same team and remains there with a salary of $1,800,000 million dollars.
4.- Jonathan Rodríguez
Uruguayan striker, Jonathan “Cabecita” Rodríguez, is living his second stage in Liga MX. He first arrived at Cruz Azul and had an outstanding performance, helping the team win its ninth league after 23 years without titles.
Now, after spending some time in Saudi Arabia, he has returned to Mexican soccer to play for Club América. Upon his return, he became one of the highest paid players in Liga MX with a salary of $3,000,000 million dollars.
3.- Guillermo Ochoa
Goalkeeper Francisco Guillermo Ochoa is the only Mexican on this list of the highest paid in Liga MX. He emigrated to European soccer and became the first Mexican player of his position to play in the Old Continent.
His good performances with his teams have led him to be the leader of the Mexican National Team. In 2019, he returned to Mexico with América, the team that formed him, and is the highest paid with a salary of $4,500,000 million.
2.- André Pierre Gignac
One player who has performed better than expected since arriving in Liga MX is Frenchman André Pierre Gignac, who justifies being among the highest paid players in Liga MX. He has been playing in Mexico for 7 years now and has said on more than one occasion that he is happy to be there. The Frenchman’s salary is $4,600,000 million.
1.- Florian Thauvin
World Cup winner with France at the Russia 2018 World Cup, Florian Thauvin, broke the Liga MX transfer market when he agreed to play for Tigres.
The Monterrey-based team has paid a high price for a player who managed to win the trophy that every soccer player dreams of obtaining. Thauvin is currently the highest paid player in Mexican soccer, although his performance has left much to be desired. His salary is $5,500,000 million dollars.
