Holder of a Master's degree in international law, I realized at the end of my university career that it was important to evolve in a field that you appreciate. Overnight, I decided to put an end to my parents' dream, who saw in me a future lawyer, to make a living from my passion: sport. Since then, I have covered transfer windows and sports news, trying to keep readers informed as best as possible.
In 1992, PSG welcomed George Weah, who was coming off a promising career at AS Monaco. The Parisian club sensed the right move since the striker would win the Ballon d'Or three years later. Former president of the French team, Michel Denisot has released major revelations about his salary obtained in the capital.
Former president of PSG (1991-1998), Michel Denisot confided a long interview to Brut during which many subjects were discussed. His time with the Parisian club represents a large part of the interview. The iconic face of Canal + released some revelations, notably on the salaries of its stars like George Weah.
Weah's salary revealed
Arrived in 1992 fromAS Monaco, Weah received a salary of around €80,000, which today corresponds to the remuneration of a player of Ligue 2. According to Denisot, that says a lot about the evolution of football.
“It has become a more important political issue”
“At the time Weah for example, who was Ballon d'Or, received a salary equivalent today to a salary in Ligue 2. The highest salaries were around €80,000. Because it made less money. At the time, Italian clubs dominated European competitions, so I managed to get by with transfers to AC Milan or Inter, and it was worth €5-6m. It has become a more important political issue. Sport is politics » confided Denisot.
