Paris Saint-Germain wages: Who is the best paid player at Les Parisiens and everything you need to know about PSG's salary bill

Gianluigi Donnarumma is not only the highest-paid goalkeeper at PSG, but also among the top-earning players at the club with a salary of over €12 million.

Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov, who serves as Donnarumma's deputy in goal, is the second-highest goalkeeper with a salary of around €3 million, while Arnau Tenas is the lowest-paid goalie as the third-choice.

This one might come as a shock. Neither club captain Marquinhos, nor Achraf Hakimi are the highest-paid defenders at PSG, with that title going to Lucas Hernandez, who earns a whopping €19 million gross annually.

Surprisingly, Nuno Mendes is the second-lowest paid defender at PSG, while 18-year-old right-back Yoram Zague is the lowest-paid.

The fans will not be too perplexed to find out that Fabian Ruiz and Joao Neves share the distinction of being the highest-paid midfielder at the club.

In third place is the exciting youngster Warren Zaire-Emery, followed by Kang-in Lee. However, the fact that Vitinha finds himself below all the aforementioned names might not sit well with the PSG faithful after the sort of performances he has given since arriving in 2022.

Promising teenager Senny Mayulu is the lowest-paid PSG midfielder.

Ousmane Dembele will have no complaints about his €20 million annual package, which made him the highest-paid player at the club following his arrival from Barcelona in 2023. In second place on this list is new signing Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

The fans won't be too pleased to find out that Marco Asensio is the third-highest paid attacker at the club, ahead of Bradley Barcola and Goncalo Ramos.

Ibrahim Mbaye is the lowest-paid attacker in not just attack, but also overall.

As keen readers might have already guessed, Dembele is the top-earning player at PSG, with a salary worth €20 million.

The next two players on this list are centre-backs Hernandez and Marquinhos, while Kvaratskhelia comes in at fourth spot along with Skriniar who share similar wages.

We don’t exactly need to feel sorry for Mbaye, but he is the lowest-paid player at the club, earning just €120,000 per season.

Zague and Mayulu are the second and third-lowest paid players at PSG, respectively, both earning under a million euros per year.

Tenas comes in at fourth spot. Meanwhile, it is quite shocking that Protugal international Nuno Mendes is among the lowest-paid players at the Parc des Princes.

So, what does this mean for the bigger picture? In which area of the pitch are PSG investing the most, and how much do they spend annually on first-team salaries?

Les Parisiens are allocating over €84 million to their defenders' salaries, which is not surprising given that four of their sixth-highest paid players are defenders.
