7. Jozy Altidore: $4.75 Million
The career of United States Men’s National Team striker Jozy Altidore is traveling down a familiar path in the summer of 2015. Altidore enjoyed a bit of positive form, he ran into a brick wall of fitness issues/scoring droughts/bit of both, and he then got himself in the doghouse of US coach Jurgen Klinsmann. Toronto FC supporters will not at all care about where Altidore stands with Klinsmann or with anybody else associated with US Soccer. They will want to see the front man routinely hitting the back of the net while on club duty during the second half of the MLS campaign.

6. David Villa: $5.61 Million
David Villa has been somewhat of a mixed bag in his first season with MLS expansion side New York City Football Club. While Villa has shown that he is capable of turning the clock back with his performances, he has also been dealing with some injury setbacks that have limited his abilities on the pitch. The 33-year-old may struggle to get to full fitness during the hot summer months, especially if NYCFC need his services while attempting to climb into the playoff positions of the Eastern Conference standings. We shall see how much Villa has left in the tank.
