Achraf Hakimi 3rd Best Paid Player in France

Achraf Hakimi is not just a key player for Paris Saint-Germain – he’s one of the club’s highest-paid assets.

Sitting third on PSG’s payroll – alongside Lucas Hernandez – The Moroccan full-back takes home a staggering €1.1 million per month, excluding bonuses, according to French sports news outlet L’Équipe.

Hakimi’s recent contract extension until 2029 cements his status as a long-term fixture in PSG’s ambitions. Add incentives, his annual earnings could soar to over €14 million, making him one of the richest African footballers on the planet.

A year ago, Kylian Mbappé ranked top, pocketing a staggering €6 million a month. But after his move to Real Madrid, he had to give up a hefty chunk of his salary.

But now, the top spot in Ligue 1 has been claimed by his national teammate Ousmane Dembélé.

The PSG winger, who shared second place in 2024, is now sitting pretty at the top, ahead of three Parisian defenders — Marquinhos, Lucas Hernandez, and Achraf Hakimi. Close behind are midfielders Warren Zaïre-Emery and Vitinha.

This ranking tells you everything about the evolution of PSG.
While they still dominate, occupying the top 12 spots with their players, the money is now being lavished on defensive reinforcements rather than attacking stars — a far cry from the days of Messi, Neymar, and Mbappé.

Even Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the star winter signing, is happy with a modest sixth place, tied with Vitinha.
