The Argentine star is the highest-rated American soccer player heading into the transfer market. At 36 years old he continues to stand out above the rest

The MLS is facing a new start to the season in which teams are putting together their squads in a month full of moves. Before the end of the year, and as a preview of the winter transfer window, Transfermarkt has published a list of players with the highest market value in the league.

After his arrival in July, Leo Messi has become the most valuable player in the history of MLS with an estimated price of €35 million. He is also the highest-priced player in the world over the age of 34.

The rest of the Top 5 highest-value players in MLS are South Americans. The latest player to enter this exclusive group is Cucho Hernández, who has seen his value increase after winning the league title and being voted MVP of the MLS Playoffs at the age of 24.

Something that shows the competitive equality of MLS is a very curious statistic revealed in this report: All the players in the Top 10 of players with the highest market value play for different teams. You would have to look at 11th and 12th to see the two highest-valued players who share a club (Acosta and Vázquez at Cincinnati FC).
