Without surprise. PSG monopolize the first 14 places in the ranking of the highest paid players in Ligue 1, revealed on Tuesday by L’Equipe, with Neymar in the lead ahead of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé.
The years go by and do not change for the Brazilian. The Parisian No. 10 remains the highest paid player in France with a gross monthly salary of 4 million euros. He is ahead of Lionel Messi. Arrived free this summer from FC Barcelona, the Argentinian receives 3,375,000 euros gross per month. The podium is completed by their partner Kylian Mbappé with his monthly gross 2.22 million euros.
The rest of the ranking is still dominated by players from the capital club with Marquinhos and Marco Verratti, with a gross monthly salary of 1.2 million euros. Recruited last summer, Achraf Hakimi follows behind (1,083,000 euros), ahead of Keylor Navas (1 million euros) and Angel Di Maria (950,000 euros).
The first player in this ranking who does not play for PSG is Wissam Ben Yedder. The AS Monaco striker points to 15and rank with a salary of 650,000 euros gross per month. Next up is his Spanish teammate Cesc Frabregas (18and with 600,000 euros gross per month). Cédric Bakambu and Arkadiusz Milik are the first Marseillais, tied (24and), with a salary of 400,000 euros.
On the coaching side, there is Mauricio Pochettino and the others. The Argentine coach of PSG largely dominates the competition with a gross monthly salary of 1.1 million euros. He is far ahead of his compatriot and OM coach Jorge Sampaoli (300,000 euros) and Nice coach Christophe Galtier (300,000 euros). But strongly threatened since the elimination of the Parisian club in 8and final of the Champions League, Pochettino should no longer occupy the top of this ranking next season.
