Lionel Messi is not Paris Saint-Germain’s highest-paid player, according to L’Equipe.
His former Barcelona teammate Neymar tops the list of highest earners at the Ligue 1 club.
Messi moved to France last summer, after Barcelona fell short of LaLiga’s wage restrictions.
At the Parc des Princes, Neymar is the most well-paid player, with a monthly salary that tops €4million, slightly more than Messi’s €3.375m.
Of the top 20 highest earners in Ligue 1, the first 18 positions are taken up by PSG players in a startling reminder of the club’s financial powers.
