The ranking of the highest-paid players in Ligue 1 for the 2025-2026 season confirms a well-known reality: Paris Saint-Germain largely dominates financially. With 16 players in the top 30, the Parisian club continues to set the standard.
At the top, Ousmane Dembélé leads the way with a monthly salary of €1.5 million, ahead of Marquinhos and the duo Achraf Hakimi and Lucas Hernandez. Despite some departures that reduced the wage bill, PSG still occupies most of the highest positions, highlighting the financial gap with the rest of the league.
Behind PSG, Olympique de Marseille stands out as the most represented club with eight players in the ranking, led by Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg. Other clubs appear more discreetly, such as Lyon with Corentin Tolisso or Rennes with Brice Samba and Breel Embolo. Some surprises also emerge, including the absence of players from high-performing teams like Lens. These figures once again show that financial power does not always guarantee success on the pitch.
