The 30 highest salaries in Ligue 1 revealed! –

The salaries of the highest paid players in our league have been revealed. And once again, the Parisians monopolize a large part of the ranking.

Like every year, this is one of the most anticipated rankings. But it is also one of the least surprising. After revealing the salaries of the most spoiled Ligue 1 coaches, The Team has endeavored to do the same with the players. A top 30 of the biggest emoluments which can sometimes make you dizzy. The daily first announced that L1’s overall payroll has increased since the 2018/2019 season, rising from 1.38 billion euros to 1.73 billion euros this year.

An increase which is largely explained by the activity of Paris Saint-Germain. Over the same period, the weight of the Ile-de-France workforce has in fact increased from €370 million to €629 million. A spectacular increase mainly due to the last summer transfer window which saw players such as Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, Georginio Wijnaldum, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Achraf Hakimi land. Four of these five reinforcements arrived free of any contract, which allowed them to negotiate even higher salaries. Four of them are also in the top 10 highest paid players in France.

PSG crushes everything

The first remains Neymar. Sportingly struggling, the Brazilian is doing better financially with his 4.083 M€ gross per month. Behind him, we find Lionel Messi (3.375 M€) and Kylian Mbappé (2.220 M€). The difference in treatment between the French world champion and his two elders can be striking, but it should be remembered that he rejected several higher extension offers. For his part, Sergio Ramos has appeared only five times in the jersey of PSG. This does not prevent him from receiving €791,666 gross every month.

In addition to a top 10 entirely composed of PSG players, the main information of this top 30 is numerous. You have to go to 15th place to meet a player who does not belong to the Rouge-et-Bleu (Wissam Ben Yedder, Monaco, €650,000). Of the top twenty, only the French international and his Spanish teammate Cesc Fabregas (€600,000) prevent Paris from raiding. Finally, the highest-paid Olympique de Marseille player is Cédric Bakambu (23rd with €416,000 monthly). Arkadiusz Milik is 25th (€400,000), Dimitri Payet is 29th (€350,000). On the Lyon side, only three Gones appear in this ranking: Tanguy Ndombele (27th, €350,000), Jérôme Boateng (28th, €350,000) and Anthony Lopes (€320,000).
