Earlier today, the Major League Soccer Players Association released the 2024 fall update to their annual disclosure of the individual compensation for all players in the league including the New York City FC squad: Here are the 2024 NYCFC player salaries.
Not much has changed since we reported the players's salary back in May, although the club's overall payroll shrank from $15,977,803 to $14,614,159. New York City added no new players in the summer transfer window, which means there are no new salaries to report. Andres Jason left the club for Danish club Aalborg BK back in June, taking $287,144 off the books. And Talles Magno went to Corinthians in Brazil's Serie A in August, which removes $1,198,000 in guaranteed salary from the payroll.
