The midfield player is the third better player paid in the Glass of the World, behind Álex Morgan with 7,1 million dollars and Megan Rapinoe with 7 'kilos'.

Why there are so many players of United States in this listing?

This pact has carried to a remarkable increase in the income of the sportsmen of the group of 'the bars and the stars'.

It fits to stand out that the list of the 10 better footballers paid elaborated from the roughly 700 athletes that participate in this competition. However, it does interesting mention the absence of big exponents like Ada Hegerberg of Norway, Sam Kerr of Australia and Viviane Miedema of Low Countries, those who are stood out in his teams and selections, but have not attained to break the economic hegemony imposed by United States, as it has done it Alexia Putellas.
