Kylian Mbappé is the highest paid footballer in Ligue 1 and European football. Bondy's man earns six million euros gross per month - 72 million euros per year -, a figure that is six times higher than the second highest paid on the list, the former Barcelona player Ousmane Dembélé, who earns 1.12 million euros per month - 13.44 million euros per season -, as revealed by L'Équipe.
The summer losses of Neymar and Messi, and the renewal in 2022 of Mbappé, place the Frenchman in a separate universe in the French league. Furthermore, Bondy is the fourth highest paid footballer in the world, behind the Brazilian, the Argentine and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The 'Top 10' of highest-paid footballers in Ligue 1 is monopolized by players from the Parisian team. In addition to Mbappé and Dembélé, the podium is completed by the Brazilian Marquinhos, who pockets the same amount as the 'Mosquito'. To find a footballer who does not belong to PSG you have to go down to eleventh position, where there is also former Barcelona player Aubameyang, who earns 650,000 euros per month.
The economic dominance of Barça's rival in the quarterfinals is so overwhelming that of the 16 players who receive the most money in Ligue 1, only the Gabonese, who plays for Olympique de Marseille, and Wissam Ben Yedder, from Monaco, do not belong. to PSG.
In the ranking of coaches things do not change. Luis Enrique is, by far, the coach who receives the highest salary. The Asturian pocketed €923,250 per month, so he alone earns less than five players on his team. Even so, 'Lucho' is not the highest paid coach in the history of PSG, as Mauricio Pochettino pocketed 1.1 million euros per month during his time on the Parisian bench.
Behind Luis Enrique is Monaco coach Adolf Hütter, who earns €250,000 a month. On the other hand, the coach who earns the least in the French league is the Spanish Carlos Martínez Novell, from Toulouse and former FC Barcelona youth football coach, who earns €200,000 per month.
