There is Paris Saint-Germain, and there are the others. Even if they are a little sportingly hooked by RC Lens this year, the Parisians have no competition when it comes to the salary scale. In its annual file on the amounts received by Ligue 1 players, The Team reveals that 14 PSG players are the highest paid in the championship. And from afar.
In the lead, the French Ballon d’Or, Ousmane Dembélé, whose gross monthly remuneration is estimated by the daily at 1.5 million euros. The former FC Barcelona player is ahead of his captain, Marquinhos (1.12 million euros), right-back Achraf Hakimi (1.1 million euros) and – more surprisingly – Lucas Hernandez.
Höjberg, a salary three times lower than Dembélé
The left back, who can also play central defender, and who is also limited to a substitute role in this Parisian team, receives the same salary as the Moroccan. To find a trace of the first non-Parisian in the ranking, you have to go down to 15th place, with Pierre-Emile Höjberg, the midfielder and captain of Olympique de Marseille.
According to estimates from L’Equipe, the Dane would have a salary three times lower than Ousmane Dembélé, or 500,000 euros gross monthly. Note, in this ranking where Corentin Tolisso appears in 19th place (450,000 euros monthly gross), the presence of two Rennais close to the top 20: Brice Samba and Breel Embolo.
