While some Ligue 1 footballers swim in luxury, others are exceptional in a world where zeros accumulate at the end of salary slips.
In total anonymity, a Ligue 1 player perceives a very modest sum each month in view of the standards of professional football. No private jet or villa in Dubai. He alone embodies the discreet setback of a championship where the wage differences are abysmal. Neither star of the wardrobe nor basic man of his coach, he lives on the sidelines of the spotlights … and bonuses.
Aloïs Confais, last of the wage class
This player is Aloïs Confais, midfielder in Le Havre. At 28, he only had a gross monthly gross euros, or 120,000 euros per year. A derisory sum when compared to the current standards of the French elite. Worse still: Confisis only played two short minutes in Ligue 1 this season. A modest salary … but for an almost non -existent playing time. The irony is almost cruel.
An abysmal abyss with the Cadors of Ligue 1
It is no coincidence that the smallest salary in the championship is in Le Havre. The Normand club also displays the lowest average Ligue 1 salary, with around 22,000 euros monthly. By way of comparison, the best paid player of the club, Daler Kouziaïev, affects 80,000 euros per month. A local luxury. But even at this level, we stay far from the giants of the championship.
Difficult not to make the parallel with Ousmane Dembélé. The PSG winger receives no less than 1.5 million euros monthly. This represents… 150 times the salary of Confais. At this level, it is no longer a gap, it is a continent.
No bonuses, no gifts
As if that were not enough, the Le Havre management has decided not to pay any goal or assist premium. A way of sanctuarizing the collective … to the detriment of selfishness. Result: even in the event of a feat, Confis will have nothing to put under the tooth. But whatever: after all, being paid 10,000 euros per month to play two minutes in Ligue 1 is not that bad. Even if it remains the smallest salary in the championship.
