Like every year, the newspaper The Team revealed the estimated salaries of Ligue 1 players and coaches. And like every year, PSG monopolizes all the first places in the ranking, starting with its coach, Luis Enrique, who far exceeds all his colleagues with emoluments estimated at 1 million euros gross per month.
Asked about this very French practice, the Spaniard took it as a joke and brushed aside the idea that this could affect some of his players less well paid than him. “Do you think the players are interested in my salary?,” he asked the journalist who had just asked him the question. Talking about that, I think it’s out of place. Of course, I’m one of the highest paid coaches in the world. It’s beautiful to me. »
A three-year extension in sight
If it is true that the interest of this disclosure does not fly very high, what is more, on the other hand, is to know that the Asturian is at this very moment in negotiations with PSG for a three-year contract extension, which would bring him to the bench of the European champions until June 2030. If nothing has yet been signed, our colleagues tell us that the discussions are going well and that nothing should prevent the two camps from reaching an agreement. This would be a novelty at Paris Saint-Germain, historically accustomed to not keeping a coach for more than two or three seasons.
It must be said that the former boss of La Roja led this team to heights never before reached by his predecessors, offering the club the first Champions League in its history. And as the flow seems to flow perfectly between the players and the coach, and between the coach and the managers, and as all these lovely people still have great ambitions for the years to come, it would be a shame to break this positive dynamic. All is well in the best of all possible worlds in the French capital, as long as it lasts.
