Just give him a percentage of the shirts and get on with it mun!
If he came to MLS as a "designated player" (ie outside of the salary cap) he could make anything from $2M to over $7M a season. I have no doubt he's already received more lucrative offers than any deal we could give him. Let's face it, he won't be coming to Cardiff for performance bonuses. I think any deal will hinge more around his physical and mental well-being than his pay check.
