This season again, PSG has made its attacking stars Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappé the most expensive players in the world.
Since the takeover of Paris Saint-Germain by Qatar, the club of the French capital is one of the clubs distributing the highest salaries. In recent years, PSG has honored its reputation by offering 6 million euros per month to Kylian Mbappé or 3 million euros per month to Neymar. The Planet Football site had fun composing the starting lineup of the highest paid players on the planet.

And unsurprisingly, Paris Saint-Germain is ultra-represented in this team, which is not necessarily the best news when we look at the financial management of the capital club. In the cages, it is David De Gea who is the highest paid goalkeeper on the planet with his 430,000 euros… per week. In defense, only one PSG player is represented, Sergio Ramos. The Spanish defender received more than 500,000 euros per week in the French capital for the past two years.
Messi, Neymar and Mbappé thank PSG
As a reminder, Paris Saint-Germain formalized their departure on Saturday before the reception of Clermont at the Parc des Princes. In the offensive sector, unsurprisingly, the three stars of PSG are present in the eleven of the most expensive players in the world. Indeed, Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi and Neymar accompany Cristiano Ronaldo and his Saudi salary. The proof if it were needed that the PSG has the annoying tendency to overpay the players. A nasty defect that the club from the capital will have to erase in the years to come, in particular in order to stay in the nails imposed by UEFA in the context of financial fair play, which is always extremely threatening with regard to the Parisian club.
