5 Hispanic soccer players in the MLS

Hispanic stars stand out in the MLS

Messi and Chicharito are some of them

Douglas Costa arrived at the LA Galaxy.

After the great success of the 2023 Leagues Cup, in which Inter Miami was crowned champion, the MLS resumed its activities just a few weeks ago.

The arrival of what for many is the best footballer in history, Lionel Messi, has given a ‘new air’ to this league.

However, there are other Hispanic soccer players, from different countries, who have elevated this competition for some time.

From the Mexicans Chicharito Hernández and Carlos Vela to the Brazilian Douglas Costa, Major League Soccer increasingly has more stars among its ranks.

Although he suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his right knee, which has kept him away from the fields, people do not forget Chicharito Hernández.

His arrival at the LA Galaxy caused great expectations, taking into account his time with important teams on the European continent.

Recently, his ex-wife Sara Kohan published a video on social networks that sparked rumors of a possible reconciliation.

On the other hand, fellow soccer player Héctor Herrera declared that he would like to play again with Chicharito and Carlos Vela in El Tri.

Next, we present Carlos Alberto Vela Garrido, forward for Los Angeles FC and owner of an exceptional left foot.

Much has been said about Vela over the years. From a very young age, he demonstrated his abilities in this fascinating sport.

However, on several occasions he has declared that he does not like football too much, not to mention that he had the luxury of rejecting a World Cup.

For now, he and his family seem happy living in Los Angeles, California, and being part of the MLS.

Many people, soccer lovers, criticized Lionel Messi for his decision to continue his career in the MLS.

In fact, few imagined that ‘La Pulga’ would be very happy to play for Inter Miami and live in Florida.

Something as simple as going shopping in a supermarket, accompanied by his wife and children, is now possible for the Argentine, who came here as just another person.

After winning practically everything with FC Barcelona and the World Cup in Qatar with his national team, what does Messi need to win?

Among the most prominent Hispanic soccer players in Major League Soccer, we cannot leave Sebastián Driussi aside.

Originally from San Justo, Argentina, this forward came to Austin FC ready to continue his scoring streak.

It should be remembered that Sebastián was one of the best footballers of last year’s MLS season.

For this reason, his contract was extended for the next three seasons, with the option of a fourth, for a million-dollar figure.

According to information from the portal Futbol Total, Brazilian Douglas Costa is among the highest paid in the MLS.

After his time at Bayern Munich and Gremio de Porto Alegre, he arrived at LA Galaxy in February of last year.

He is also remembered for having played for Juventus Italy and in Shakhtar Donetsk Ukraine.

If the question remained how much Douglas Costa earns per year for playing with his club, the answer is 4.5 million dollars.
