Messi – Neymar: PSG denounces a lie and fears a disaster

on

Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, a graduate of a Master’s degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.

Like every year, L’EQUIPE has unveiled its ranking of the highest salaries in Ligue 1. Unsurprisingly, it is the PSG players who monopolize the top 10 with an untouchable trio made up of Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi and Neymar. But while their income could weigh down the club’s finances, at PSG we are assured that the real problem is elsewhere.

This Thursday, THE TEAM published its traditional edition revealing the salaries of Ligue 1 players. Unsurprisingly, these are the players of the PSG that crush the competition and occupy the top 10. Wissam Ben Yedder (11th, €650,000 gross/month) is the first player not playing in Paris in this ranking. In total, 15 Parisians are present in the top 20 largely dominated by Kylian Mbappé (6M€ gross/month), Neymar (3.7M€ gross/month) and Lionel Messi (3.4M€ gross/month). Salaries that make you dizzy and could weigh on the club’s finances. But within the PSGwe explain that the problem is elsewhere.

“What weighs down are the salaries of average players”

Contacted by THE TEAMa source at PSG explains that finances are weighed down by the salaries of secondary players: “ We have the impression that what weighs down the finances of Paris-Saint-Germain are the contracts of Mbappé, Messi or Neymar. But this is not true. These are very large sums, but these are players who make money for the club. The promoters give more money for the tours, the sponsors are more numerous and spend more, the stadium is full and the hospitality areas are snapped up… What weighs down are the salaries of the average players, very well paid at the PSG and which do not bring in anything from a business point of view “.

Bernat and Mukiele, the best paid after the stars

Of course, this source does not cite any names, but looking at the ranking of THE TEAM, we can easily guess the players who are singled out. So, John Bernatregularly injured and little used, earns €730,000 gross per month, almost as much as Sergio Ramos (791,000€ gross/month)! The recruits, however disappointing, are also not to be pitied financially. So Nordi Mukiele (700,000€ gross/month), Renato Sanches And Fabian Ruiz (540,000€ gross/month), Carlos Soler (500,000€ gross/month) or even Hugo Ekitike (€400,000/month) all have a salary that does not correspond to their sporting performance. However, they appear in the 20 highest paid Ligue 1 players. To compare, Nuno Mendes or Danilo Pereira And Vitinha do not appear in the top 30. And it is this problem that has therefore pointed the finger, namely the difference between the sporting performance and the salary level of certain players…
