What many Austrians dream of all their lives? From a lottery number. Kylian Mbappe does not play the lottery, but rakes in six million euros gross every month. Employer Paris Saint-Germain pays this unbelievable sum to the top French player – and the bonuses are not even included!
Six million euros – Mbappe collects almost twice as much as the multiple world footballer Lionel Messi, who “only” gets 3.375 million euros a month from the Parisians. This puts the Argentine in third place in the payroll published by the French sports newspaper. Because the Brazilian Neymar gets 3.675 million transferred monthly.
Salaries that underscore the disparity in France’s Ligue 1. Only players from PSG occupy the first ten places, with Wissam Ben Yedder (650,000 euros) a kicker from AS Monaco only in eleventh place.
