Biography of Diego Rossi [Age, Height, Family, Wife, Net Worth & Salary]

Nevertheless, Diego showcased his impressive durability and ability to score when the club needed him consistently. As a result, MLS declared Rossi as the best player currently in the MLS under 22.

The recognition further solidifies the Uruguayan’s status as one of the best young players not just in the MLS but the whole world.

For example, Tyler Adams and Alphonso Davies, who was ranked above the Diego in 2018 rankings, are now plying their trade in Germany’s Bundesliga.

Therefore, I have no doubts whatsoever that the 22-year-old will follow in the footsteps of Adams and Davies and makes a move to one of the elite clubs in Europe.

International

At the time of writing, Rossi has not made a single appearance for Uruguay’s senior team. However, that does not mean that Diego has not played for the national team at any level.

In fact, the 22-year-old has played for the Uruguay U-17’s, U-20’s and the U-23’s with the highlight of his young international career coming at the 2017 South American U-2o Championship.

To explain, Uruguay U-20 won the tournament by defeating Ecuador U-20 2-1 in the final to clinch the prestigious cup.

To sum up, even though Rossi has not managed to appear for the senior side, it is not due to his lack of ability.

Instead, the reason is that Diego is playing in a relatively weaker league as compared to his fellow national team colleagues who are playing at Europe’s biggest clubs. As a result, the 22-year-old has to move to Europe to be considered for a national team spot.

Highlights

Diego Rossi: Salary & Transfers

At the time of writing, Diego has a net worth of a whopping $2 million due to his bumper contract with the Los Angeles FC.

According to the agreement, Rossi is earning a base salary of $1 million per year or $19,230 per week. However, the duration of the deal remains undisclosed.

Furthermore, the U-23 Uruguayan international signed for LAFC during the transfer window of 2017 for $4 million from Penarol. Consequently, expectations were high for the then 19-year-old.

Likewise, the flying winger managed to live up to the hype as Rossi has exceeded all expectations to become one of the best players in Los Angeles and the MLS.

To illustrate, the TransferMarkt website currently values the 22-year-old at €12 million, which is a lot for a player outside of Europe’s top leagues.

However, judging by the Uruguayan abilities and stats, it will come as no surprise if one of the top European clubs purchases the young attacker for an even higher fee from LAFC.

Diego Rossi – Wife & Family

I am unfortunate to tell you that there is no information regarding the parents of Rossi. However, according to various reports, Diego’s father is of Italian descent while his mother is of Armenian descent.

So, stay tuned as I update the details as soon as it is made known to the general public. Contrarily, we know that Diego has a brother, Nicolas Rossi, who plays for the Penarol U-19’s and a baby sister, Fio Rossi.

Furthermore, the 22-year-old is married to his longtime sweetheart, Vivi Reymunde. To illustrate, the couple had been dating since their teen years and finally tied the knot in January of 2018.

And if you wonder whether the wedding coincided with Uruguayan’s move to Los Angeles, then you are correct, my dear readers.

As per the reports, the two lovebirds got married soon after the move to Los Angeles was announced.

Similarly, I guess Rossi wanted to solidify the relationship with the beautiful Vivi before he left for the United States.

In conclusion, the love and affection between the married couple are there for all to see, as suggested by the Instagram posts of both Rossi and Reymunde.

Moreover, the LAFC attacker regularly dedicates his goals to his stunning wife, Vivian, as seen by his celebrations where he holds up a “V” sign.
