Zlatan Ibrahimovic's 2019 salary of $7.2 million (£5.7m) is a new MLS record, usurping the $7.1m paid to Sebastian Giovinco in 2017 and 2018.
The Swedish star, 37, joined the LA Galaxy from Manchester United last year with his 2019 salary a huge increase on the $1.5m he was paid during his first year and sees him move to the top of the pile in terms of wages in the division, according to the MLS Players Association's (MLSPA) salary guide.
The rise in pay should not come as any shock, with the forward having made a remarkable impact, scoring 33 MLS goals in 39 appearances.
