Achraf Hakimi on the podium of the highest salaries in Ligue 1 (two other Moroccans as well)
The ranking of the best-paid footballers in the French championship for the 2025-2026 season is official. This ranking consecrates the hegemony of Paris Saint-Germain and highlights the salaries of Moroccan internationals Achraf Hakimi, Nayef Aguerd and Sofiane Diop.
The salary grid reveals a total supremacy of the capital club, which places sixteen of its representatives among the thirty wealthiest athletes. According to figures released by the daily L’Équipe, Ousmane Dembélé, recent winner of the Ballon d’Or, reigns supreme with a gross monthly salary of 1.5 million euros. The podium is completed by Marquinhos at 1.12 million, just ahead of Moroccan full-back Achraf Hakimi, third in this national hierarchy with an income set at 1.1 million euros. Warren Zaïre-Emery maintains his position with 900,000 euros, while the overall payroll has been reduced following the departures of Gianluigi Donnarumma and Presnel Kimpembe.

Behind the untouchable Parisian leader, Olympique de Marseille emerges as the second economic force by integrating eight elements into this financial elite. Moroccan central defender Nayef Aguerd stands out particularly by occupying the eleventh overall position with a salary of 400,000 euros. He plays alongside expensive teammates such as Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg (500,000 euros), Mason Greenwood or Geoffrey Kondogbia, the latter two receiving 450,000 euros. The Marseille squad also includes other high incomes at 350,000 euros such as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Benjamin Pavard, Leonardo Balerdi and Igor Paixao.

The rest of the table highlights the budgetary disparities of the other teams. Olympique Lyonnais has only Corentin Tolisso left at 450,000 euros, OGC Nice relies on Moroccan Sofiane Diop (350,000€), while Rennes and Monaco barely place a few key players like Brice Samba, Breel Embolo, Eric Dier and Denis Zakaria. This accounting reality is not, however, a guarantee of sporting success: the current runner-up in the championship, Racing Club de Lens, has no player in this ranking.
