even pay very well compared to teams in Spain, England, Germany, and other Euro countries. Especially outside their top teams. Michael Bradley was a starter at one of the wealthier clubs (Roma), and IIRC, he was making ~$500k/year there, which is why it was an absolute no-brainer for him to sign with lowly Toronto in lowly MLS for $6 million a year. Roma couldn't come anywhere close to that. After Juve and the Milan teams, there's a huge drop off.

I'd be really surprised if Mika's making anywhere north of $100k.
