The ten best paid players in Ligue 1 known, the huge surprise
The media L'Equipe has published its annual estimate of the remuneration perceived by Ligue 1. Unsurprisingly, PSG is very well represented.

Who was going to succeed Kylian Mbappé among the best paid players in Ligue 1? The newspaper L'Equipe did the calculations within the 18 elite clubs.

And we can say that PSG is present in force in this ranking. It is also a Parisian that we find culminating at the top of the painting, with the prolific Ousmane Dembélé.

PSG players occupy the first 12 places in this ranking

The former Barça thus affects the trifle of 1.5 million euros gross. He does better than three Ile -de -France defenders: Marquinhos (1.2 million), Lucas Hernandez and Achraf Hakimi (1.1 million). Warren Zaïre-Emery (950,000) and Vitinha (900,000) land just behind.

PSG far ahead

The first non-Parisians to appear in this prestigious and expensive list are Olympians. We are talking about former Parisian Adrien Rabiot (OM), Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (OM) and Alexandre Lacazette (OL), all three on a par with a salary of 500,000 euros. The veterans Kondogbia, Bennacer and Tolisso (450,000 euros) are not far away.

The Rennais Seko Fofana and Brice Samba, who have 400,000 euros gross monthly, follow below in this list.

The top 10 of the best paid players in Ligue 1 according to the calculations of the team:

Ousmane Dembélé (PSG) 1,500,000 euros
Marquinhos (PSG) 1,120,000 euros
Lucas Hernandez (PSG) 1,100,000 euros
Achraf Hakimi (PSG) 1,100,000 euros
Warren Zaïre-Emery (PSG) 950,000 euros
Vitinha (PSG) 900,000 euros
Kvitcha KVaratskhelia (PSG) 900,000 euros
Gianluigi Donnarumma (PSG) 849,500 euros
Nuno Mendes (PSG) 800,000 euros
Presnel Kimpembé (PSG) 640,000 euros

As a reminder, this is an established classification taking into account the gross monthly salary, without the premiums.
