When a star player is not there on a team, most occasions result in a team tumbling down the league table. The same scenario happened with the Chicago Red Stars last season with Mallory Swanson. However, this season, they can certainly avoid the same issue. She has signed a massive contract extension with the club.

The contract also makes her the highest-paid player in the NWSL. It also shows how much Chicago Red Stars value their star forward and their gigantic ambitions for the upcoming season.

All the latest details you need to know about the salary of Mallory Swanson

Chicago Red Stars forward Mallory Swanson is currently the talk of the town. The NWSL club has announced that she has signed a new four-year contract to extend her stay. There is also an option to extend it to the fifth year. However, what makes this update promising is the contract she signed with the club. The 25-year-old has become the highest-paid player in the NWSL. According to reports, she is set to make a salary of $400,000 per year. It means that she will earn over $2 million during the duration of the contract.

The USWNT star striker missed most of the last year because of a torn patella tendon in her left knee. It also led to her missing the World Cup. Despite this, her seven goals in 2023 were the highest on the national team. Therefore, it showcases how much the American fans and her teammates missed her during the tournament. Because of the injury, the Chicago Red Stars also ended in the last position last season without her presence.
