Carlos Vela said no to El Tri, but yes to LAFC's millions, and with them, he has earned a fortune

Ever since Carlos Vela told Gerardo Martino that he would not be part of the Mexican national team that will play in the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, he earned the resentment of many El Tri fans, who consider the LAFC striker an indispensable element in the Mexican squad.

The condition Vela would set to return to El Tri

However, the reality is that the Mexican admitted in front of Martino that his priority at the moment is his club and his family, so the player no longer wishes to wear the Mexican national team uniform.

Therefore, Vela will not be part of the Tri squad for Qatar 2022, to the disappointment of Mexicans who wanted to see him defend the tricolor uniform once again. However, it can be understood why the Mexican does not want to go to a highly competitive event such as the World Cup, due to his situation in MLS. 

The fortune Carlos Vela has earned with LAFC

It is a fact that the player was the highest-paid player in MLS until last season when it was confirmed that for the 2022 campaign Lorenzo Insigne will arrive at the tournament, so Carlos Vela's income will no longer be the biggest in the league. However the little more than $6 million a year that the Mexican has earned since his arrival to the North American tournament in 2019, plus what he has obtained in bonuses and sponsorships, surely have made the player have no worries about his future due to the fortune he has made in MLS.
