Zakuani Highest Paid Ga Ever?

January 12th, 2009 . 2:27 pm . By: Buzz Carrick

Word floating around the MLS Combine, and other places, is that Steve Zakuani is the highest paid player in Generation adidas program history.  I’m hearing numbers in the neighborhood of $175,000 - $180,000.

And before you say Freddy Adu, he wasn’t a Generation adidas player.

Edit: One or two people seem to think that number may be his combined MLS deal and adidas deal. Still a lot of money if accurate.\

Edit 2: Goff getting a lot of credit for this one even though we had it two das earlier.

    I believe Albright got around 200K when DCU took him P-40 from UVA hoping he would be a goal scoring machine.

    I read they threw about $200k at Charlie Davies. Wonder what they offered Tracy?

    Glad it’s their money, I just don’t see the guy rippin up the MLS. He’s too used to the ball being being spoon fed.
