Lionel Messi topped Major League Soccer’s jersey sales rankings for the fourth consecutive year, proving that, despite his age, he remains a commercial powerhouse both on and off the pitch.

In a World Cup year, with the tournament taking place in the United States and Messi once again in the spotlight, the Argentine superstar and Inter Miami forward comfortably outpaced the competition, including Son Heung-min of Los Angeles FC and Thomas Müller of the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Recent MLS arrivals Robert Lewandowski, who joined Chicago, and Antoine Griezmann, who signed for Orlando City, also made an immediate impact on the rankings. Despite arriving in the United States midway through the year, both players broke into the top five.

MLS did not disclose the number of jerseys sold for each player.

While international stars generated the strongest demand, the rankings also feature homegrown talent, including some of the most promising young players in American soccer who could soon make the leap to bigger stages.

Cavan Sullivan is one of the few US internationals to feature in the top 10. The Philadelphia Union youngster broke several records after becoming a regular starter in June. His impressive performances during the closing stages of the season included setting a new MLS record for goal contributions by a teenager, helping a struggling Philadelphia side secure a playoff spot.

The list also includes two more Inter Miami stars: Luis Suárez and Rodrigo De Paul, with the Argentine midfielder rounding out the top 10.

Elsewhere, Denis Bouanga of Los Angeles FC and Hany Mukhtar of Nashville SC also made the cut.
