Major League Soccer announced its top 10 player jersey sales for 2025, with Lionel Messi leading the rankings for a third straight year.

    Messi maintains dominance, Son makes immediate impact

    While Messi continues to cement his status as the league's most marketable star since joining Inter Miami in 2023, Son finishing second overall proves his impact as he's played just 10 league games since joining MLS in August. 

    Son's merchandise sales were unprecedented – he became the top-selling athlete across the Fanatics Network for jersey sales within just 72 hours of his signing announcement.
