French publication L’Equipe released estimates of monthly salaries across the country top clubs.
The top 14 spots occupied by PSG players, showing the gulf between his side and the rest of the league.
Brazil star Neymar, who was signed in August 2017 from Barcelona at £198million is still the division’s top earner, earning around £3.4million per month before tax. A yearly salary of just under £41m per year.
