The French Kylian Mbappé is at the head of the highest paid athletes in the world after his renewal last summer by Paris Saint Germain (PSG) with 6 million euros gross per month without counting bonuses, according to the count published this Thursday by L’ Team.
Those 6 million euros (4.62 million net) are the consequence of his current contract that has practically tripled the previous one, and with which the PSG leaders wanted to signify to Mbappé that he was going to have the highest salary in the club, very superior to the other two big stars that are Neymar and Leo Messi.
In the list of the highest paid players in the French league presented by L’Équipe, the Brazilian forward occupies the second position with 3.675 million euros gross per month, followed by Messi with 3.375 million.
The seven positions that follow are also occupied by PSG players: Marquinhos and Verrati with 1.2 million each, Hakimi with 1.083 million, Donnarumma with 916,000 euros, Ramos with 791,600, Bernat with 730,000 and Mukiele with 700,000.
You have to wait until the eleventh position to find Ben Yedder, from Monaco, with 650,000 euros a month, and then Kimpembe, again from PSG, with 640,000 euros, Veretout from Marseille with 550,000, Fabián Ruiz and Renato Sanches from PSG with 540,000 euros each and also from the club from the French capital Carlos Soler with 500,000 euros, the same amount as Alexis Sánchez, from Marseille.
The average salary of the PSG squad is 1,016,765 euros gross per month and, taking into account their obligations regarding the rules of financial fair play, this limits their capacity for two pending operations that would be the renewal of Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos and that, according to L’Équipe, seem less and less likely.
