The MLS Player's Union has released an updated list of player salaries and Robbie Keane has dropped down from number four to number six in the list of highest earners.
Former Brazilian international Kaka tops the list, despite not currently playing in the league. He's on loan with Sao Paulo as Orlando City do not enter the MLS until next season. A slight bump in earnings means that Landon Donovan is the other player to jump above the Dubliner.
These are the top 15 earners in the league.
1. Kaka, Orlando City: $7.17 million
2. Clint Dempsey, Seattle Sounders: $6.7 million
3. Michael Bradley, Toronto FC: $6.5 million
4. Jermain Defoe, Toronto FC: $6.18 million
5. Landon Donovan, Los Angeles Galaxy: $4.58 million
6. Robbie Keane, Los Angeles Galaxy: $4.5 million
7. Thierry Henry, New York Red Bulls: $4.35 million
8. Tim Cahill, New York Red Bulls: $3.63 million
9. Jermaine Jones, New England Revolution: $3.25 million
10. Marco Di Vaio, Montreal Impact: $2.6 million
11. Obafemi Martins, Seattle Sounders: $1.75 million
12. Pedro Morales, Vancouver Whitecaps: $1.41 million
13. Omar Gonzalez, Los Angeles Galaxy: $1.25 million
