L’Équipe’s Salary Lists Show PSG Far Ahead in Ligue 1 Pay as Luis Enrique Leads Coaches

The release puts hard numbers to a pay gap that defines Ligue 1.

Overview

  • The ranking, which L’Équipe released Wednesday, shows PSG occupying 16 of the top 30 player salaries with Ousmane Dembélé leading at €1.5 million a month.
  • Outside Paris, Marseille is the strongest presence in the top 30 as Pierre-Emile Højbjerg leads the non-PSG earners at €500,000 a month.
  • Coach salaries published late Wednesday list PSG’s Luis Enrique at €1,000,000 a month, well ahead of Lyon’s Paulo Fonseca at €350,000 and OM’s Habib Beye at €230,000.
  • Asked about the disclosures Thursday, Enrique joked that it was “nice” for him and said discussing salaries with the press was out of context.
  • L’Équipe extended its estimates to other leagues, naming Kylian Mbappé LaLiga’s top earner at €2.67 million a month and Dusan Vlahović first in Serie A at €1.85 million, while stressing the figures are indicative estimates rather than club-confirmed pay.
