<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lionel-messi">Lionel Messi</a></strong> is set to change <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls">MLS</a></strong> forever. Shortly after winning the 2022 World Cup, the Argentine superstar has decided to take his talents to <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami">Inter Miami</a></strong>, who are eager to announce him in front of their fans.</p>



<p>The Herons have been heavily linked with Messi for a long time, but this move <strong>took everyone by surprise</strong>. Barcelona were expected to bring the academy product back, but they couldn’t guarantee him a spot due to LaLiga salary cap rules.</p>



<p>On the other hand, Inter Miami are willing to do whatever it takes to make this work, and the financial aspect will be the last thing to prevent them from enjoying the 7x Ballon d’Or winner. In fact, it looks like they’re <strong>parting with one of their most expensive players.</strong></p>



<h2>Inter Miami would move on from Rodolfo Pizarro</h2>



<p><strong>Rodolfo Pizarro</strong> would be on his way out of Inter Miami, who want to free up space for Messi and Sergio Busquets, who is reportedly heading to South Florida as well.</p>



<p>The Mexican star has occupied a designated player spot since joining the club in its inaugural season in 2020, but he <strong>never lived up to the expectations</strong>. On Wednesday, Pizarro suggested he’s not staying in Miami, criticizing MLS’ trade policy.</p>



<p>“<strong><em>I do think it’s hard</em></strong>,” Pizarro said. “<em>I have a contract — I didn’t know I could be traded anyways. It’s a bit strange … I think it’s the only league in the world that does this.”</em></p>

So, since then, it was necessary to unload its roster’s salary, and the solution was not so complicated to find thanks to <strong>Rodolfo Pizarro</strong>.</p>
<p>According to <em>Miami Herald</em>‘s reporter<em>Michelle Kaufman</em>, the chosen one to relieve Inter Miami’s economic pain is its Mexicandesignated player that has not had the desired impact in the pitch in the two seasons. Pizarrois close to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/liga-mx-transfers-live-arrivals-departures-and-rumors-for-each-mexican-team-20211214-0019.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">being loaned to his former<strong> Liga MX</strong></a> team, <strong>Rayados de Monterrey</strong>.</p>

<h2>What is Rodolfo Pizarro willing to do to facilitate his return to Mexico with Monterrey?</h2>
<p>With<em>TUDN</em>information, it has beenleaked out that one of the troublesRayados had to bringPizarro back to Liga MX was his salary. But, the still Inter Miami’s player will was decisive to find a solution: he accepted to reduce the amount he annually receives.</p>
<p>From the $3.35 million he has touched during his stay in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-or-liga-mx-which-league-exported-more-talents-to-europe-in-2021-20211221-0028.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLS</a>, Rodolfo Pizarro will get only the 30 percent, however, he could be closer to his loved ones.<em>The Joker</em>had stated in several occasions that one of the main reasons he could not reach his peak in Miami was the absence of his family: “<em>I had personal issues I dealt with, the injury…I didn’t have my family nearby, so that affected me”</em>.</p>
<p>The very possible Pizarro’s loan to Rayados could have been announced in the previous days when <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/mls-rodolfo-pizarro-to-leave-inter-miami-20211225-0012.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rodolfo posted an intriguing message </a>on his Twitter account that caused rumors about his return to Mexico.

MLS Transfer Rumors: Inter Miami is close to loan Mexican designated player Rodolfo Pizarro to Liga MX - Bolavip US

<p>According to<em>Transfermarkt</em>, <strong>Inter Miami</strong> is on the top 5 most valuable starting lineup and most valuable bench of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>MLS</strong></a>. Unfortunately for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/david-beckham-t27629" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>David Beckham</strong></a>‘s team, the expectedresults of his investment havenot arrived yet, and one of its top assets could be thinking of trying luck in another project: <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/rodolfo-pizarro" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Rodolfo Pizarro</strong></a>.</p>
<p>The 27 years old Mexicantalent is one of three Inter Miami’s designated players with 2018 <strong>FIFA World Cup</strong> winner <strong>Blaise Matuidi</strong>, and former <strong>Real Madrid</strong> star <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/gonzalo-higuain" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Gonzalo Higuain</strong></a>. He earns $3.3 million yearly and occupies a place in the top 10 best-paid players on MLS.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, Rodolfo Pizarro’s performance during the two seasons he has militated for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Inter Miami</a> has not entered the Major League Soccer’s best ones. He has just an average of 65 minutes played in 2021, in which he scored 3 times and made 7 assists.</p>

<h2>The intriguing message of Rodolfo Pizarro that may announcehis new plans</h2>
<p>On Christmas Eve, Rodolfo Pizarrotweeted an hourglass with a Santa Claus. The speculations lighted up when current <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/chivas-t62" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Chivas</strong></a> player <strong>Alexis Vega</strong> replied to the message with expectation icons. It has happened before that this kind of interactions leak news.</p>
<p>The Mexican designated player of Inter Miami has been linked to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/liga-mx" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Liga MX</strong></a> teams in the current Transfer Window. Both <strong>Rayados</strong> and Chivas, his two former clubs, may be searching for him to boost their offensive lines. This could offer Rodolfo the chance to achieve more minutes aiming to win a spoton <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mexico-t65" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Mexico National Team</strong></a> for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/qatar-2022-t77804" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Qatar 2022</strong></a>.</p>

MLS: Rodolfo Pizarro to leave Inter Miami?

MLS: Rodolfo Pizarro to leave Inter Miami? - Bolavip US

<p><strong>Rodolfo Pizarro</strong> is on the transfer radar of two Liga MX sides, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/inter-miami" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Inter Miami</a> midfielder has had lukewarm results since his move to the expansion side in 2020. Currently Pizarro has played 6 games this season with only one assist.</p>
<p><strong>Pizarro did have a rather better 2020 with 4 goals in 19 games</strong>, with the Mexican international’s performances picking up as the season progressed, but again in 2021 his form slipped and has been subbed out in 5 of the 6 games.</p>
<p>Rodolfo Pizarro came to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/inter-miami-looking-to-make-drv-pnk-stadium-a-fortress-in-2021-20210419-0017.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Inter Miami </a>following a move from Monterrey at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-the-top-outgoing-transfers-to-date-20200903-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a reported $12 million dollars</a>, the midfielder is also the seventh highest paid player in MLS at $3.3 million a year. <strong>Here are the two clubs interested in Rodolfo Pizarro in Liga MX.</strong></p>
<h2>Monterrey</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1623172643812/sites/bolavip/img/2021/06/08/rodolfo_pizarro_monterrey_crop1623172643336.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>    Rodolfo Pizarro at Monterrey (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>According to Fernando Cevallos in Mexico, Monterrey is one of the interested parties</strong> to bring back the Mexican star. It is reported that Pizarro is not very happy at Inter Miami and Monterrey could try to bring him back, although a $12 Million transfer looks out of the question. Pizzaro won two championships with Los Rayados.</p>
<h2>Chivas</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1623172712738/sites/bolavip/img/2021/06/08/rodolfo_pizarrochivas_crop1623172712123.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>    Rodolfo Pizarro at Chivas (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The other team is Chivas, although why Pizzaro would trade one bad situation for another remains to be seen, if Chivas can pay the number Inter Miami could have in mind the deal could make sense. <strong>Pizzaro won three titles at Chivas.</strong></p>
<p>For Inter Miami this could be yet another stop in the train wreck express, Pizzaro at the moment has not lived up to his billing and along with Matías Pellegrini the total sum spent on both players is $21 million for only 5 goals.</p>

Transfer Rumor | Inter Miami's Rodolfo Pizarro being linked back to a move to Liga MX

Transfer Rumor | Inter Miami's Rodolfo Pizarro being linked back to a move to Liga MX - Bolavip US

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mls" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>MLS</strong></a> will return to action this weekend with an exciting new season. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-2021-schedule-format-bracket-and-key-dates-20210310-0011.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2021</a> championshipbrings the inaugural campaign for expansion side Austin FC, in a year in which 27 teams will be looking to dethrone <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/columbus-crew" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Columbus Crew</a>.</p>
<p>On its 26th anniversary, the best soccer competition in the US will be having <strong>great superstars</strong> throughout the league as it keeps improving each year. <strong>There were some impressive signings in preseason</strong>, such as Brazilian wonderkid Brenner to <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/fc-cincinnati" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cincinnati</a>, or Argentinian promising midfielder Santiago Sosa with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/atlanta-united-t215" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Atlanta United</a>.</p>
<p>Ahead of the new campaignthat is about to kick off, here we’ll take a look into the eleven players who have the highest market values, with the figures provided by <em>TransferMarkt</em>. Probably you’ll be impressed to see some big names missing this list, like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/chicharito-hernandez" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Chicharito Hernández</strong></a>, Blaise Matuidi, and the newcomerAlexandre Pato. However, it’s time to check out who these players are.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<div class="ck-youtube" id="youtube-34">      <span class="item first"></span>   <span class="item second"></span>   <span class="item third"></span>  </div>
<p></p></div>
<h2>11. Brenner – FC Cincinnati</h2>
<p><strong>Market Value: €9 million</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1618526697833/sites/bolavip/img/2021/04/15/brenner.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Brenner is an exciting addition to the MLS (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Arguably the most interesting signing in preseason, <strong>FC Cincinnatisecured a great forward</strong> by bringing in the Brazilian striker who dazzled with giants Sao Paulo recently. Brenner only has 21 years of age but heads to the MLS <strong>after an incredible breakthrough year</strong> with his former team.</p>
<p>He scored<strong> 22 goals in 38 games</strong> with the Tricolor, and landed to Cincinnati with a$15 million transfer fee. Those figures speaka lot about the potential Brenner has, and he could be a great boost for the league this season.</p>
<h2>10. Alan Pulido – Sporting Kansas City</h2>
<p><strong>Market value: €9 million</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1618526845641/sites/bolavip/img/2021/04/15/alan_pulido.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    The Mexican Alan Pulido is Sporting KC’s greatest star (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Mexican was a great addition to the MLS after being signed from the Liga MX, where he had an extremely successful spell between Tigres and Chivas. <strong>His market value has been rising since he moved to Kansas City</strong>, where he netted seven times in 14 games.</p>
<p>Alan Pulido is about to take part in his third campaign in the US, and if he keeps with such form, his current value probably will keep on increasing. Meanwhile, he is a great asset for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mexico-national-soccer-team-schedule-in-2021-20210114-0006.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mexico national team</a> as well.</p>
<h2>9. Lucas Zelarayán – Columbus Crew</h2>
<p><strong>Market value: €10 million</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1618527027416/sites/bolavip/img/2021/04/15/lucas_zelarayan.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Lucas Zelarayan lifted the 2020 MLS Cup with Columbus (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Argentine heads to a new year in the MLS <strong>after being crowned with Columbus Crew</strong>in great fashion. He provided four goals in 2020 regular season and was influential to help his team lift the trophy <strong>with a brace in the final</strong>.</p>
<p>Zelarayán was acquired from Tigres UANL already as a proven great offensive midfielder, and he showed his signing was worthy. Columbus already earned a trophy with him on the pitch, and at his 28 years of age, ‘El Chino’ is prepared to keep with his great performances.</p>
<h2>8 – Rodolfo Pizarro – Inter Miami</h2>
<p><strong>Market value: €10 million</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1618527182085/sites/bolavip/img/2021/04/15/rodolfo_pizarro.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Inter Miami and Pizarro seek a great season this year (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Pizarro was <strong>one of the first big signings from David Beckham’s Inter Miami</strong> for the team’s inaugural season.The Mexico international player was granted the No. 10 as soon as he arrived, but neither he or his teammates found consistency in a year with ups and downs for Inter.</p>
<p>However, he remains one of the best in the league, and 2021 may be the opportunity for him to bounce back. It should be a better campaign forSouth Florida’s side, who are eager to improve last year’s results.</p>
<h2>7 – Ezequiel Barco – Atlanta United</h2>
<p><strong>Market value: €10 million</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1618527338378/sites/bolavip/img/2021/04/15/ezequiel_barco.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Under Heinze, Barco can have a fantastic season (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>It’s no surprise to findthis talented Argentinian star among these players</strong>. From the very first moment in which he stepped into the MLS, there were high expectations with Barco. Having made his breakthrough as a pro with only 16years of age in local giants Independiente, he was set to have a bright future in this sport.</p>
<p>The currently22-year-old has amassed 12 goals and12 assists in 80 games with Atlanta United. Due to his age, his market value could be even higher. <strong>Thisseason may see him climbplaces in this list</strong>.</p>
<h2>6 – Gonzalo Higuaín – Inter Miami</h2>
<p><strong>Market value: €10 million</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1618527488716/sites/bolavip/img/2021/04/15/gonzalo_higuain.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    A world-class player, Higuain can lead Inter to a good run this year (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Arguably the biggest superstar in the MLS, <strong>Gonzalo Higuaín became Inter Miami’s top figure as soon as he joined them</strong>. Despite Pipita struggled to score for some games, he immediately showed the skills that allowed him to build an outstanding career.</p>
<p>With 33 years of age, the Argentine will enter his second year in this league, where he will probably make his retirement in the future. The superstar who featured for Real Madrid, Napoli, Juventus, among others, carries Inter’s hopes of recording a great season.</p>
<h2>5 – Emanuel Reynoso – Minnesota United</h2>
<p><strong>Market value: €10 million</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1618527658991/sites/bolavip/img/2021/04/15/emanuel_reynoso.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Bebelo Reynoso is Minnesota’s star (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Signing ‘Bebelo’ was a great call by Minnesota</strong>. The midfielder wasn’t having too much playing time at Boca Juniors, and that meant a lot of talent wasted. Fortunately for him, the MLS welcomed Reynoso to prove his level.</p>
<p>He still has many years of career ahead, with only 25 years of age. Even though he wasn’t on target very much up to now, <strong>Reynoso showed what a playmaker he can be and provided severalassists</strong> in his first season in 2020.</p>
<h2>4 – Alejandro Pozuelo – Toronto FC</h2>
<p><strong>Market value: €12 million</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1618527767674/sites/bolavip/img/2021/04/15/alejandro_pozuelo.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Pozuelo was a great addition to fulfill Giovinco’s place (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Despite having to leave Europe, <strong>moving to the MLS was a boost in the Spaniard’s career</strong>. Alejandro Pozuelo found his place in Toronto, and he instantly had a great impact in the league. His first year’s stats were impresive – 12 goals and 7 assists in 30 matches.</p>
<p>But it was inhis second year whenhis performances earned more recognition. <strong>Pozuelo was named the MLS MVP in 2020</strong>, a deservedly won award for his appearances with TFC.</p>
<h2>3 – Josef Martínez – Atlanta United</h2>
<p><strong>Market value: €14 million</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1618527912824/sites/bolavip/img/2021/04/15/josef_martinez.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Josef Martinez, a goalscoring machine (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Venezuelan striker’s way to <strong>stardom in the MLS</strong> was instantaneous. Needless to say, Josef Martínez is one of the best players in the entire league. His astonishing goalscoring record speaks by itself – <strong>90 goals in 105 games</strong> with Atlanta United.</p>
<p>He was the season top scorer in 2017-18 season being 31 times on target and earning the MLS MVP award. Moreover, he broke a record by netting in 15 succesive league games. With him in the attack, Atlanta don’t need to be concerned about scoring, <strong>Martínez always finds the net</strong>.</p>
<h2><strong>2 – Carlos Vela – Los Angeles FC</strong></h2>

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Obviously we were going to find this guy among the top places</strong> in the ranking. The 32-year-old had everything to succeed in Europe, where he performed for more than 200 games with Real Sociedad following a spell withgiants like Arsenal.</p>
<p><strong>Carlos Vela became aMLS figure from his very first season</strong>, in which he scored 14 times in 28 matches. The following year, the Mexican superstar received the MVP award. Just check out his stats in 2019: <strong>34 goals in 31 games</strong>! Overall, he was on target 62 times in 80 appearances with LAFC. And that record explains by itself why he is such a big name in the competition.</p>
<h2>1. Diego Rossi – Los Angeles FC</h2>
<p><strong>Market value: €20 million</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img loading="lazy" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1618528247222/sites/bolavip/img/2021/04/15/diego_rossi.jpg_22993414.jpg" width="740" height="413"><figcaption>    Rossi scores and fans go wild (Getty).   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Uruguayan’s market value is much higher than the figures we’ve read before. Well, not only his skills and his age explain those numbers, but his <strong>incredible scoring abilities</strong> do so as well. After 102 matches with LAFC, Rossi netted 53 times, and he provided 21 assists.</p>
<p>That’s an amazing record for a left winger. The 23-year-old was a great prospect that the MLS brought in and rised to be <strong>no longer a promising talent but a superstar in the league</strong>, who is also part of his country’s national team and is <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/soccer/mls-the-top-outgoing-transfers-to-date-20200903-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">expected to become the competition’s most expensive outgoing transfer</a>someday.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mls-t16956" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>2020 MLS season</strong></a> is nearly at its end and the league revealed the 25 top-selling <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/all-mls-stadiums-ranked-by-capacity-20200903-0010.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MLS</a> jerseys. As expected, the top sellers were the best players in the league, but there were some interesting surprises that cracked the top 25.</p>
<p>It has been a strange 25th anniversary for the league, <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/mls-top-10-highest-paid-players-20200914-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>MLS</strong></a> had planned a year-long celebration to remember it’s relatively short history. Then the covid-19 pandemic hit and put many if not all celebrations on hold.</p>
<p>Nonetheless, some celebrations did take place and the year will culminate in an MLS Cup Champion. Here are the <strong>25 top-selling jerseys of the 2020 Major League Soccer season.</strong></p>
<h2>25. Ezequiel Barco</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Ezequiel Barco" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/ezequiel_barco_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Ezequiel Barco" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Ezequiel Barco Jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>It might be strange to see <strong>Ezequiel Barco</strong> on this list, given that he has played relatively very little in his three MLS seasons. The Argentine midfielder has show flashes of brilliance but never truly became a star in the league or in Atlanta United.</p>
<h2>24. Cristian Roldan</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Cristian Roldan" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/cristian_roldan_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Cristian Roldan" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Cristian Roldan jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Seattle Sounders fan favorite has been a key part of their midfield since 2015.<strong> CristianRoldan</strong> has played over 150 games for Rave Green and has also played for the USMNT. Fans may be shocked to find out that Roldan is only 25, seems like he has been around forever.</p>
<h2>23. Lucas Zelarayan</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Lucas Zelarayan" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/lucas_zelarayan_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Lucas Zelarayan" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Lucas Zelarayan jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>One of the best newcomers to MLS this season, <strong>Lucas Zelarayan</strong>, came from Liga MX side Tigres and has been one of the best players in the league. The Argentine scored 6 goals in 16 games, but most importantly he revitalized the Columbus Crew’s midfield.</p>
<h2>22. Walker Zimmerman</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Walker Zimmerman" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/walker_zimmerman_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Walker Zimmerman" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Walker Zimmerman Jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Say what? Yeah, <strong>Walker Zimmerman</strong>, is number 22 on the list, the Nashville SC defender has been solid for the expansion franchise, even helping them get to the playoffs. Zimmerman is one of the best defenders in MLS and he is a pool player on the USMNT.</p>
<h2>21. Cristian Pavon</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Cristian Pavon" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/cristian_pavon_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Cristian Pavon" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Cristian Pavon jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The lone bright spot in a dreadful 2020 for the L.A. Galaxy, <strong>Cristian Pavon</strong>came via loan last season from Boca Juniors and has been a highlight reel week in and week out. The Galaxy on the other hand area trainwreck, get his jersey now, the chances he returns for 2021 are slim.</p>
<h2>20. Jonathan dos Santos</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Jonathan dos Santos" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/jonathan_dos_santos_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Jonathan dos Santos" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Jonathan dos Santos jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Mexican national team players are very popular in MLS, <strong>Jonathan dos Santos</strong> has been a very decent player for the L.A. Galaxy, a hard worker, and a good passer, Dos Santos stepped out of his brother’s shadow and became a main piece in the Galaxy’s midfield.</p>
<h2>19. Chris Wondolowski</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/chris_wondolowski_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="" vspace="5"><figcaption style="background: transparent">    Chris Wondolowski jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The MLS all-time leading goal scorer, <strong>Chris Wondolowski</strong>, continues to light up the nets in MLS at the age of 37. Rumors have it that he will return for 2021, although not certain for San Jose, Wondo is a shining example that Goonies never say die.</p>
<h2>18. Johnny Russell</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Johnny Russell" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/johnny_russell_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Johnny Russell" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Johnny Russell jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>One of the most underrated players in MLS the Scotsman <strong>Johnny Russell </strong>has been nothing short of gold for Sporting KC. He continued to be clutch in the 2020 season scoring 6 goals in 21 games.</p>
<h2>17. Diego Rossi</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Diego Rossi" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/diego_rossi_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Diego Rossi" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Diego Rossi jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The MLS 2020 golden boot, <strong>Diego Rossi</strong>, had a breakout year for LAFC, although Rossi has gotten better in each of his three MLS seasons. Not only did he win the golden boot, but he finally got his long-awaited call up to the Uruguayan national team. Rumors have it that Rossi is Serie A bound and it looks unlikely he will return in 2021.</p>
<h2>16. Edison Flores</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Edison Flores" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/edison_flores_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Edison Flores" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Edison Flores jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Peruvian international, <strong>Edison Flores</strong>, was supposed to take D.C. United to new heights but he along with D.C. had a poor 2020 season. Flores was injured and could only play 13 games and provide 3 assists. Flores will look to have a better 2021.</p>
<h2>15. Nicolas Lodeiro</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Nicolas Lodeiro" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/nicolas_lodeiro_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Nicolas Lodeiro" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Nicolas Lodeiro jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Uruguayan midfielder is one of the <strong>best players in Sounders history</strong> and quite frankly one of the best number 10’s in MLS history. The two-time MLS Cup champion looks to win his third with the Sounders this season.</p>
<h2>14. Alan Pulido</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Alan Pulido" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/alan_pulido_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Alan Pulido" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Alan Pulido jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The high priced Mexican international did not disappoint in his first MLS season for Sporting KC. <strong>Alan Pulido </strong>scored 6 goals in 12 games and with one season under his belt, he will be one of the most entertaining players to watch in 2021.</p>
<h2>13.Diego Chara</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Diego Chara" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/diego_chara_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Diego Chara" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Diego Chara jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Mr. Portland Timbers, <strong>Diego Chara</strong> has been with the team since 2011, the strong and fun defensive midfielder is the heart and soul of the Timbers. At 34 he has proven very resilient to the tough grinds of MLS being one of the team fanfavorite players for well over 8 seasons.</p>
<h2>12. Alejandro Bedoya</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Alejandro Bedoya" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/alejandro_bedoya_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Alejandro Bedoya" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Alejandro Bedoya jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Philadelphia Union captain and 2014 World Cup veteran for the USMNT, <strong>Alejandro Bedoya </strong>has been a vocal leader in Philadelphia, not only on the field but off the field. He was one of the first MLS players to speak out about social issues in the U.S. and has turned into one of the Union’s all-time best players.</p>
<h2>11. Diego Valeri</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Diego Valeri" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/diego_valeri_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Diego Valeri" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Diego Valeri jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Argentine maestro, <strong>Diego Valeri</strong> is the Portland Timbers. No player identifies so much with their club than Valeri at Portland. Valeri has done it all in Portland, winning MLS Cup, the MLSisBack tournament, and cementing himself in the community, a class-act.</p>
<h2>10. Brenden Aaronson</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Brenden Aaronson" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/brenden_aaronson_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Brenden Aaronson" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Brenden Aaronson jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Get his jersey while you can because <strong>Brenden Aaronson </strong>is out of here. In his two seasons in MLS Aaronson has played 51 games and scored 7 goals for the Union. He has loads of talent and will transfer to RB Salzburg in Austria at season’s end. He is one of the most talented players to ever come out of MLS, and it won’t be long before he is with the USMNT.</p>
<h2>9. Blaise Matuidi</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Blaise Matuidi" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/blaise_matuidi_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Blaise Matuidi" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Blaise Matuidi jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The World Cup winner came to Inter Miami to give the team a much-needed spark. <strong>Blaise Matuidi</strong>’s hard work and leadership were instrumental in turning things around for a franchise that was going south and fast. He will be a huge piece of the puzzle in 2021.</p>
<h2>8. Raul Ruidiaz</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Raul Ruidiaz" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/raul_ruidiaz_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Raul Ruidiaz" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Raul Ruidiaz jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Peruvian international does one thing, put the ball in the back of the net. <strong>Raul Ruidiaz</strong> has been nothing but lethal for the Sounders, scoring 33 goals in 53 matches. A fan favorite and one of the best in the league he has some highlight-reel goals in his three years in the league.</p>
<h2>7. Nani</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Nani" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/nani_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Nani" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Nani jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The former Manchester United midfielder, <strong>Nani</strong>, has reshaped Orlando City, helping them get to their first-ever MLS Cup playoffs. Nani has been a leader for Orlando City and has been extremely fun to watch this season with spectacular goals and assists.</p>
<h2>6.Gonzalo Higuain</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Gonzalo Higuain" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/gonzalo_higuain_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Gonzalo Higuain" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Gonzalo Higuain jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<h2></h2>
<p>El Pipita comes with a pedigree few have in MLS, the Argentine international and former Juventus and Real Madrid striker is the league’s highest-paid player. <strong>Gonzalo Higuain</strong> provided a much-needed spark to an Inter Miami side in desperate need during 2020, although he scored only 1 goal his season was cut short when hetested positive for covid-19.</p>
<h2>5. Rodolfo Pizarro</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Rodolfo Pizarro" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/rodolfo_pizarro_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Rodolfo Pizarro" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Rodolfo Pizarro jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Mexican international and teammate of Higuain’s <strong>Rodolfo Pizarro </strong>took a bit to get adjusted to MLS but with some support turned his season around and showed his class. Pizarro and Higuain were just getting started but that magic will have to wait until 2021.</p>
<h2>4. Jordan Morris</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Jordan Morris" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/jordan_morris_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Jordan Morris" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Jordan Morris jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>A lot of expectations were put on <strong>Jordan Morris</strong> over the years and while he has lived up to them, the on again off again USMNT player has always been a contributor for the Seattle Sounders.</p>
<h2>3. Josef Martinez</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Josef Martinez" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/josef_martinez_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Josef Martinez" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Josef Martinez jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The most lethal target man in MLS, <strong>Josef Martinez</strong> has badly missed this season by Atlanta United, who had a dreadful 2020. Martinez will be back in 2021 and the man who scored 72 goals in 81 matches will be putting all MLS goalkeepers on alert!</p>
<h2>2. Javier Hernandez</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Javier Hernandez" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/chicharito_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Javier Hernandez" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Javier Hernandez jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Well, at least <strong>Chicharito Javier Hernandez</strong> is selling jerseys, cause he hasn’t done much else in his very disappointing first MLS Season. The LA Galaxy were a mess this season and Chicharito was equally as bad, scoring 2 goals in 12 outings. He will be back in 2021 and MLS hopes they can get that egg off their face.</p>
<h2>1. Carlos Vela</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <img alt="Carlos Vela" data-height="600" data-size="w:3000,h:3000" data-width="600" hspace="5" src="https://bolavip.com/export/sites/bolavip/img/2020/11/27/carlos_vela_jersey.jpg_1543673193.jpg" title="Carlos Vela" vspace="5"><figcaption>    Carlos Vela jersey   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The Mexican and LAFC super star is the top-selling jersey in all of Major League Soccer. <strong>Carlos Vela</strong> has been nothing short of MVP class in MLS with great goals and strong leadership. 2020 was not LAFC’s nor Vela’s best but , in 2021 he might finally be able to lead the team to their first MLS cup.</p>
