Son Heung-min Ranks 2nd in MLS Jersey Sales for Second Consecutive Year Behind Messi

Son Heung-min, who plays for Los Angeles FC (LAFC) in Major League Soccer (MLS), has ranked second in MLS jersey sales for 2026.

The MLS office released the top 10 MLS jersey sales rankings for 2026 through its official website on the 4th (local time), announcing that "Lionel Messi (Inter Miami) and Son Heung-min led in sales."

This ranking was determined based on sales figures compiled on MLSstore.com from January 1 to October 30.

However, exact sales figures were not disclosed.

The player with the highest number of jersey sales was Messi, who maintained the top spot in this category for four consecutive seasons.

Following Messi, Son Heung-min placed second for the second consecutive year.

After transferring to LAFC in August 2025, Son sold out his jerseys immediately upon joining, establishing himself as the team's top star.

Building on this, Son ranked second in jersey sales behind Messi last year, and has secured the second spot again this year.

With Thomas Müller (Vancouver) taking third place, players such as Robert Lewandowski (Chicago), Antoine Griezmann (Orlando), Cavan Sullivan (Philadelphia), Denis Bouanga (LAFC), Luis Suárez (Inter Miami), Hany Mukhtar (Nashville), and Rodrigo De Paul (Inter Miami) ranked 4th through 10th.
