Radamel Falcao, Monaco’s star striker, expressed his disappointment at missing out on the Monaco-PSG clash due to injury but sent a supportive message to his teammates via Twitter: “I would have liked to get on the pitch and play this match with my teammates. Even though I am far away, my heart is with you! #GoMonaco.”
Meanwhile, Parisian football reveals the staggering wealth in the sport, particularly in the case of Radamel Falcao. The Colombian international earns a net monthly salary of 1.2 million euros, making him the highest-paid player in the French championship. His income is further boosted by the tax exemptions provided by the Principality of Monaco.
Comparatively, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who earns 1,350,000 euros gross, falls behind Falcao in terms of net income. Monaco’s other top earners include James Rodriguez, Joao Moutinho, Eric Abidal, and Ricardo Carvalho, while PSG’s Thiago Silva and Edinson Cavani also command substantial salaries.
However, not all players enjoy such high incomes, as highlighted by the significantly lower earnings of young French hopefuls Adrien Rabiot and Hervin Ongenda.
In conclusion, Parisian football’s survey underscores the unprecedented concentration of high incomes in the history of the championship.
