Report: Orlando City ready to shell huge bucks for Mexico's Hernandez
Major League Soccer's salary offer to Mexican forward Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez is $10 million a year, a sum that would make him the highest-paid player in the league, this according to reports.
As first reported by Mediotiempo, the alleged deal for the Manchester United striker would not only make Chicharito the higest-paid player in MLS -- over players like newcomers Andrea Pirlo, Kaka and Sebastian Giovinco -- but also the main face of MLS.
It is believed that Chichario would most likely to go to Orlando City FC and become what David Beckham was to the Galaxy when he arrives in MLS, according to Mediotiempo.
Recently, La Liga side Sevilla were the newest team to inquire about Chicharito's services, who spent last season on loan at Real Madrid. Hernandez has undergone successful surgery on a fractured collarbone that ruled him out of the CONCACAF Gold Cup in draw vs. Honduras earlier this month.
United manager Louis van Gaal decided he was not part of his first-team plans ahead of the 2014-15 season and Hernandez failed to do enough to convince Real to push through a permanent deal.
