A few days ago it seemed that the Chicharito rumors were going to come to a halt because the Mexican international was asking for too much money. However, a report today by Mediotempo has stated that Chicharito has been offered a salary of $10,000,000 dollars, which would make him the highest paid player in the history of Major League Soccer.

Due to the article being in Spanish, we at O-Towns 11 translated the article in order to give our English readers an idea of what was said. Please keep in mind the quote may not be verbatim due it being translated by Google.

The offer is on the table for Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez and his representative Eduardo Hernandez…They are $10 million per year, in addition to being the main image of the MLS, as at the time it was David Beckham’s arrival at LA Galaxy, which offer the “Chicharito” in America by donning the colors purple for Orlando City FC, according to a source revealed Mediotiempo footballer of the environment. It is the highest economic proposal that has, until now, the former Real Madrid striker and Manchester United. Therefore the economic proposal, the sports project, which would mean for Javier exploitation of his image in the US market and proximity to the country and its people in the capital of Jalisco, are the reasons why Eduardo Hernandez, guardian of footballer , remains open to the offer of the MLS as a latent possibility for “Chicharito” in the immediate future.

The contact remains open between the parties, even if the player wants, today, is to stay in Europe, but not everything goes as the striker himself would wish.

It was reported earlier this week by the Orlando Sentinel that the chances of Orlando City signing Chicharito were slim to none because the former Real Madrid striker has an asking price that is far too high.

One thing is for sure, a $10,000,000 salary that Chicharito could earn in Orlando is most likely much higher than he will earn in Europe.

O-Towns 11 has reached out to the club for comments on if there is any discussions between Orlando City and Chicharito, but considering that OCSC does not comment on any trade speculations makes it seem unlikely will receive any sort of comment.

Stay tuned for updates.
