Paris Saint-Germain: Weekly wages of first-team stars revealed

#6 Thiago Silva (Defender) - €200,000/week

Master of defence

Contracted until: 30/06/2020

After a month-long transfer saga, Paris Saint-Germain bought Thiago Silva from Milan for a reported fee of €42 million. Widely hailed as one of the best defenders in the world, the Brazilian slotted into the first team upon arrival.

In 6 seasons at the club, Silva has made 231 appearances in all competitions and has won 16 major titles. A lot will depend on him at the back if PSG are to realistically challenge for the UEFA Champions League next season.

What a bulwark he has been at the back for PSG.

#5 Edinson Cavani (Forward) - €200,000/week

Edinson Cavani has scored a total of 168 goals for PSG

Contracted until: 30/06/2020

3 sensational goal-filled seasons for Edinson Cavani at Napoli were followed by a €64.5 million move to Paris Saint-Germain in 2013. Alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Cavani plundered his way to 81 goals in his first three seasons.

Once Zlatan retired, Cavani became the spearhead of the PSG attack, and currently, represents a third of one of the most feared trios in world football(alongside Neymar and Kylian Mbappe). In his last two seasons, Cavani has scored a stunning total of 87 goals in all competitions.

Despite an alleged fall-out with Neymar, Cavani has maintained his form and has consistently scored goals in all competitions. Should PSG keep a hold of him, they can be assured of a regular flow of goals up top.

As clinical as they come, eh?
