Messi, Neymar, Mbappe: Salaries of PSG players revealed

It’s been a bad month for Paris Saint-Germain.

The French side’s search for a European Cup has been extended for another year as they threw away a 2-0 aggregate lead against Real Madrid.

Then, this weekend, they were humbled 3-0 by Monaco.

It will be a big surprise if manager Mauricio Pochettino is still in charge of the club come next season, while Kylian Mbappe’s contract expires at the end of the current campaign. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi is still struggling to find his best form at the Parc des Princes.

Therefore, it probably wasn’t the best time for French outlet L’Equipe to release a list of the top wages in Ligue 1.

But that’s exactly what they’ve done.

Unsurprisingly, the list of the 30 top earners in the league is dominated by PSG.

In fact, the top 14 players are made up exclusively of PSG players and only two non-PSG players make the top 23.

And some of the salaries are just eye-watering.

At the top of the list is Neymar with the Brazilian pocketing more than €4 million per month.

That’s €700,000 more than Lionel Messi – who was the highest-paid player at Barcelona.

Kylian Mbappe makes up the top three – although the Frenchman earns about half of what Neymar takes home. No wonder he’s reportedly keen to join Real Madrid at the end of his contract.

Eleven PSG players come next before the first non-Parisian in the form of Monaco’s Wissam Ben Yedder, who earns €650,000 per month.

Ben Yedder’s teammate, Cesc Fabregas, comes in as the 18th best-paid player.

Back on the pitch and, following PSG’s damaging 3-0 loss to Monaco, Mbappe demanded his teammates start showing some respect.
