For the first time since 2019, we have Sporting Kansas City and Major League Soccer (MLS) salary data. In the pandemic shortened 2020, salary data was never released. The last time data came out was the end of 2019, before Sporting KC signed many of the players currently on their roster including Alan Pulido, Gadi Kinda, Roberto Puncec, Nicolas Isimat-Mirin and Remi Walter.
Among that list are a couple millionaires (Pulido and Isi) and a player who is now making over a million per season because of annual raises (Ilie Sanchez). We can also see substantial raises for returning player Khiry Shelton ($650,000 now versus $119,745 back in 2018).
