When you’re the best, you can win big. And Kylian Mbappé has been proving it for several years now. Indeed, arriving at PSG in August 2017, after an incredible year with AS Monaco, the French genius has continued to progress and prove to us that he is one of the best players in the world. If some still doubted it, the Parisian striker once again demonstrated the full extent of his talent during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. And especially in the final against Argentina, when he managed, almost single-handedly, to pick up the score throughout the match.
In addition to the World Cup, Kylian Mbappé dazzles football fans on Ligue 1 lawns every weekend. If we still have big names in our championship, such as Neymar, Messi, Alexis Sanchez, or even Ben Yedder, it is clear that the “Kyk’s” is above the lot. At least, in the hearts of fans and specialists. Therefore, it is not really surprising to learn that he is the highest paid player in the championship.

Kylian Mbappé, a talent that is expensive
Indeed, our colleagues from The Team have just published a ranking of the salaries of Ligue 1 players. Guest on France Info this Thursday, March 30, Lionel Dangoumau, editor-in-chief of the football department with our colleagues, affirms that Kylian Mbappé would not be the highest paid player only in France. He is “arguably the biggest salary in the history of world sport” with his gross monthly salary reaching 6 million euros.
A huge salary that evolved with the signing of his new contract last year. “Since signing his new contract with PSG at the end of last season, Kylian Mbappé has reached a rather spectacular milestone in terms of his income”, explains Lionel Dangoumau. In addition, the editor-in-chief of the football service specifies that the salaries revealed in the ranking do not take into account the “colossal bounties” what the handyman of Didier Deschamps and other Ligue 1 players can perceive. We understand a little better how PSG managed to convince their player to stay rather than go to Real Madrid.
