If you need to negotiate the price of your next home or vehicle, New York Red Bulls Sporting Director Ali Curtis may be the right man to get you a bargain — at least judging from the salaries of both Gonzalo Veron and Shaun Wright-Phillips.

The Major League Soccer Players Union released their updated salary figures for the 2015 season, revealing some astonishing numbers for the Red Bulls.

Argentine playmaker Gonzalo Veron has come to the team at a pro-rated $200,004.00 salary figure; not exactly what one would expect from a Designated Player. According to team officials, his DP designation takes into account the multi-million dollar transfer fee paid from the Red Bulls to San Lorenzo. Veron will, however, count as a Designated Player next year, indicating a bump in his second year salary.

On the other end of the spectrum is Shaun Wright-Phillips. The player who was once sold from Manchester City to Chelsea for the remarkable price of £21million is coming in at a pro-rated pauper’s salary: $145,704/yr. To put that into context, his 2015 earnings fall below that of Sacha Kljestan and Ronald Zubar. It is also well below the salary of brother Bradley’s 2015 earnings; a first for the well-traveled brothers.

Both Shaun Wright-Phillips and Gonzalo Veron earned their first starts of the year this past week in an emphatic 2-0 victory over the Timbers in Portland.

Here is the full Red Bull salary breakdown:
