The popularity of Major League Soccer (MLS) has increased over time as more and more famous faces have joined the league. already relocating to the LA Galaxy in 2007, David Beckham laid the foundation, but other celebrities have already brought their skills to the US. It used to be thought of as a place where the best players would go to finish their careers, but now the league is home to a thrilling new generation of players.
Major change was brought about with Lionel Messi’s entrance in 2023, and MLS is now larger than ever. Jersey sales are also increasing as more people watch than ever before.

Ashley Westwood is outselling some recognisable names
Two Seattle Sounders players, Albert Rusnák and Jesús Ferreira, start the top 25. Benjamin Cremaschi of Inter Miami, who joined the Florida-based team as a young player in 2021 and has progressed through the levels for his local team, joins them.
Christian Benteke is one of the prominent individuals highlighted in this section. The striker played for teams like Aston Villa, Liverpool, and Crystal Palace over the majority of his career in the Premier League. However, he has settled comfortably at D.C. United and is well-liked there. But he’s hardly the only celebrity who established himself on a high-level stage.
Despite their pedigree, Barcelona great Sergio Busquets, former Chelsea star Olivier Giroud, and Borussia Dortmund legend Marco Reus are all in the top 25 but do not place in the top 10. It’s interesting to note that Ashley Westwood, an obscure Englishman, is currently outselling them all. After making a reputation for himself at Burnley, the midfielder went to Charlotte FC in 2023 and has since been a success. The 35-year-old is currently selling more shirts than just ten other MLS players.

The leader is Lionel Messi.
Anyone who thought Lionel Messi would have the best-selling shirt in Major League Soccer this year would not receive any prizes. The Argentine is adored worldwide and is regarded as one of the best football players of all time. His transfer to Inter Miami caused a stir, and the team is now more well-liked than ever. Since he bears a major portion of the blame for that, it makes sense that he sells more shirts than anyone else in the league—and most likely not even close.
However, Luis Suarez, a teammate from Inter Miami, is in second place. Together, the two accomplished a lot in Barcelona and returned to Florida the previous year. Suarez is well-known throughout the world, and after his arrival, supporters hurried to get his shirt. Miguel Almiron, who just rejoined Atlanta United following a six-year stay with Newcastle United, is among the other well-known figures in the top 10. He is still incredibly popular even though his form hasn’t been the finest since returning to the United States.
Wilfried Zaha’s Charlotte FC shirt is the seventh-best-selling item in the league, and he is also among the top 10. For years in the Premier League, the forward, a Crystal Palace legend, dominated defenders. He has taken his thrilling style of play to the United States, and his admirers adore him for it.
