Like his domination on the pitches of Ligue 1 where he is the top scorer (24 goals), far ahead of his runner-up, Jonathan David of Lille (15 goals), Kylian Mbappé reigns supreme over salaries in the Ligue 1 championship. France. The captain of the Blues, star striker for Paris-SG, is the highest paid player in Ligue 1 with a gross monthly salary of 6 million euros. He is far ahead of his teammates Ousmane Dembélé and Marquinhos, tied for second in the ranking, with 1,120,000 euros.

PSG monopolizes the first ten places in the top 10 salaries and it is natural that the Moroccan Asraf Hakimi stands out as the best paid African player in France with 738,000 euros per month. He is followed by the Gabonese from OM, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (650,000 euros) and the Central African international, also at OM, Geoffrey Kondogbia (450,000 euros).

Far from France, it is the Nigerian Victor Osimhen who dominates the ranking of the highest paid players in the Italian championship with an income of 1.5 million euros. But less than the Egyptian from Liverpool, Mohamed Salah who earned 1.7 million.
