The million-dollar salaries of the Portuguese at PSG: Who earns the most?

In the million-dollar universe of French football, Portuguese players shine with enviable salaries, but are they all at the top of the list? A detailed analysis reveals the true earnings of Vitinha, Nuno Mendes, and João Neves at the giant Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), comparing them with other stars of the league.

Vitinha, a midfielder who is now in his fourth season at PSG, stands out as one of the highest earners in the Parisian squad, earning an impressive 900,000 euros gross per month. João Neves, a young prospect in his second season at the club, maintains a similar salary, demonstrating the value that PSG places on its emerging Portuguese talents.

However, despite these substantial figures, Vitinha and João Neves fall short of the salaries of their more high-profile teammates. Forward Dembélé tops the list with 1.5 million euros gross monthly, closely followed by Marquinhos, who earns 1.12 million, and full-backs Lucas Hernándes and Hakimi, both earning around 1.11 million euros.

Nuno Mendes, who has also been a key player in PSG’s defense, receives 800,000 euros per month, placing him lower in the team’s salary ranking. Gonçalo Ramos, another Portuguese player at the French club, earns about 443,500 euros monthly, a figure that still reflects his growing status.

Outside of PSG, at Monaco, Denis Zakaria and Eric Didier are identified as the players with the lowest salaries, both earning around 330,000 euros gross per month, according to a report by the newspaper “Marca”.

This analysis of the salaries of Portuguese players in France makes it clear that, despite being well compensated, there is a salary hierarchy that highlights how the market values some stars more than others. For the Portuguese players, the challenge is to continue justifying these astronomical figures on the pitch and to carve out their space among the top players in French football.
