Don't look anywhere other than Paris Saint-Germain, the 10 highest paid players for the 2024-2025 season; all defend the same jersey of the French champion club. This is because, although it is down again this financial year, in line with the previous one, and after a record historically broken at nearly 730 million euros under Messi, Neymar and Mbappé, the PSG payroll remains – and by far – the thickest in French football.
Only PSG players in the ranking of highest salaries in Ligue 1
You must therefore earn a minimum base salary (excluding performance bonuses, signing bonuses, ethics bonuses, etc.), of 8.4 million, as the estimated equivalent of the last extension signed by international midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery, to embed the top 10 below. Which is dominated by another international, in the person of winger Ousmane Dembélé.
On average, a player in the top 10 highest salaries in Ligue 1 for the 2024-2025 season approaches 9.7 million euros gross, that is to say the equivalent of full-back Achraf Hakimi and central defender, Milan Skriniar.
