Club América could convince Carlos Vela of joining them after getting his salary reduced in LAFC

Carlos Vela renewed his contract for one more season with Los Angeles FC after arriving in their opening season back in 2018 as a designated player, a tag he still carries now, entering his 4th season in the MLS, but that hasn’t prevented LAFC to readjust his contract ahead the 2022 MLS Season.

For the 2021 MLS Season, the 32-year-old striker earned a base salary of $4.5 million, although he received a guaranteed compensation of $6.3 million, making him the highest paid player in the MLS, but for the current season, according to reports, LAFC has lowered his base salary to $3.8 million, with a max guaranteed of $4.5 million.

This indicates that Carlos Vela is not seemed as valuable as he was in earlier seasons, although he still is in the top 10 highest paid MLS players, something that Club América could take advantage of and try to acquire him, as they’ve been linked to Vela before.

How much could Carlos Vela earn in Club América.

According to reports, Club América paid $4 million per year to former Mexico National Team midfielder Giovani dos Santos, a figure higher than the one Vela will receive this season in Los Angeles, but Las Águilas could offer up to $4.5 million, the same salary that Guillermo Ochoa, highest paid Club América player, receives.
