This Thursday, the newspaper L’Equipe will appear on newsstands in its special edition devoted to the salaries of footballers, and in particular the ambassadors of Ligue 1. In the meantime, this Wednesday evening, the sports daily lifts the veil on the emoluments of the big names in the French elite.
Obviously, PSG figures prominently, with no less than 14 representatives in the Top 15 of a hierarchy currently limited to 30 players. Only the Marseillais Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg enters the first fifteen positions, at the back of the pack, alongside Lucas Chevalier and Désiré Doué flanked by their 500,000 euros monthly gross.
If he has not yet extended his contract with the expected salary increase, Ousmane Dembélé, the 2025 Ballon d’Or, is well at the top of this ranking, from the top of his 1.5 million euros earned each month. Marquinhos (€1.12 million), Achraf Hakimi (€1.10 million), Lucas Hernandez (€1.10 million) and Warren Zaire-Emery (950,000 euros) complete the Top 5.
16 Parisians and 8 Marseillais in the Top 30
In addition to PSG, OM is happily embodied in this hierarchy, with no less than eight elements appearing in the Top 30. From Mason Greenwood to Leonardo Balerdi via Igor Paixao, Nayef Aguerd or Geoffrey Kondogbia. Two Monegasques, two Rennes, one Lyonnais and one Niçois are also in the game (see below).
