Paris Saint-Germain are one of the richest clubs in world football and their transfer spending has been matched by exorbitant salaries since the Qatari takeover of the club in 2011.

The summer of 2021 was one of the craziest transfer windows in recent memory, with Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, Gigi Donnarumma and Gini Wijnaldum all arriving on free transfers.

As a result of the club not paying a transfer fee, those Bosman arrivals were rewarded with massive salaries, adding to an already bloated wage bill with the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Neymar already on the books.

The club's wage bill grew even further when Mbappe signed a new deal last summer, which included a €50 million signing-on fee with nearly €100m earned per year until 2025.

PSG's wage bill for the 2021/22 season was reportedly the highest ever in football history at a huge €728m.

Mbappe is now the club's highest earner, taking home a salary estimated to be in the region of €90-10m per year net.

L'Equipe previously reported that Neymar was paid more than his former Barcelona team-mate Messi, but they have changed places despite Ney's contract rolling over until 2027 in July.

PSG at least saved some cash when Angel Di Maria left on a free transfer for Juventus at the end of June, while the loan deals of players like Wijnaldum, Mauro Icardi and Leandro Paredes help alleviate this season's overall wage bill.

Ander Herrera made his loan move to Athletic Club permanent in January, while Pablo Sarabia also left the club during the winter window. He joined Wolverhampton Wanderers.
