Paris Saint-Germain has established itself as a top European club, becoming one of the richest sports organizations globally due to its ownership by Qatar Sports Investments. With the Ligue 1 championship under its belt, PSG boasts the largest wage bill in the world. In fact, the Parisian club will be the home to three of the four highest paid footballers in the world in the 2022-23 season.
- Kylian Mbappe
Leading the pack is none other than Kylian Mbappé. The French international has secured the top spot as the highest-earning player at PSG, with a whopping salary of £1.25 million per week. This new contract, signed in August, will see him earn close to £63 million per year. With this, Mbappé overtakes even his teammate Lionel Messi, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner. Currently, he is on a three-year deal with the club, which will keep him at PSG until 2025.
- Lionel Messi
The Argentine superstar Lionel Messi is a key player for Paris Saint-Germain. With his incredible footballing skills, he has established himself as one of the greatest players of all time. His presence at PSG has only added to the team’s already star-studded roster. In the 2022-23 season, Messi is earning a weekly wage of €1,10,000 and an annual salary of £56 million. This makes him the second-highest-earning player at the club. There are ongoing talks to extend his current contract, which is set to expire at the end of the season. With his talent and experience, Messi will continue to play a crucial role in PSG’s success in the future.
- Neymar
Brazilian international Neymar Jr. is the third highest earning player on the Paris Saint-Germain squad. The star striker receives an impressive £950,000 per week, amounting to a yearly salary of £50 million. It’s noteworthy that during the 2020-2021 season, Neymar held the title of PSG’s highest earner, but has since been surpassed by both Mbappé and Messi. Nevertheless, the talented player still stands as one of the most well-paid footballers at the club. Neymar’s contract with PSG is set to run until 2025.
- Sergio Ramos
Sergio Ramos, a Spanish international and World Cup winner, is the fourth highest paid player in the PSG squad. With a weekly salary of £475,000 and an annual income of £25 million, Ramos has made a significant contribution to the club’s impressive wage bill. After joining PSG in 2021 on a two-year contract, there has been talk of the club wanting to extend his stay, which would likely see his wages increase. Ramos’ experience, leadership and success at both the club and international level make him a valuable player to the Parisian club.
- Gianluigi Donnarumma
Donnarumma joined PSG in 2022 and is currently on a 3-year contract, which is set to expire in 2025. The Italian goalkeeper is widely regarded as one of the top shot-stoppers in the world, and his impressive performances between the sticks have helped solidify PSG’s position as one of the strongest clubs in Europe. With his commanding presence in goal and his reputation as one of the best goalkeepers in the world, it’s no surprise that Donnarumma is one of the highest-paid players at PSG.
