Top 10 highest paid Canadian soccer players
Alphonso Davies is currently the highest-paid Canadian soccer player. At just 21, he earns a massive $106,536.88 per week. This comes as no surprise as the Bayern Munich star was not only named the CONCACAF men's player of the year back in April, but Davis has also won the national award as the Canada Soccer Player of the Year three times in four seasons.
LOSC Lille’s Jonathan David follows behind Davies as the second-highest-paid Canadian soccer player with a wage of $43,868.13 weekly. Cardiff City’s Junior Hoilett takes third position, earning a weekly wage of $35,094.50, completing the top three highest-paid Canadian soccer players.
Midfielder Atiba Hutchinson receives $30,081.00 per week, placing him in fifth position on the list. Hutchinson has enjoyed a successful career and received various awards and titles, including a one-time Dutch Super Cup winner and a massive six-time Canadian Footballer of the Year award.
Iké Ugbo is the lowest earner on the top 10 list; however, the two-time English FA Youth Cup winner still has a respectable weekly wage of $8,456.52.
