#7 Thiago Motta - €875,000

Thiago Motta continues to be an important player at PSG

Unassuming but never unavailing, the genius of Thiago Motta continues to go strong even at the age of 35. The Italian international may be shrouded under the shadows of the big names at PSG, but remains a crucial member of the squad.

Motta maintains an envious 94 percent passing accuracy in the league, and also ensures continuity of play with his intelligent on-pitch movements. The industry and ingenuity he continues to imbue belies his ripe age, but the former Inter Milan midfielder seems to still have a lot left in his tank.

He has consistently fended off challenges from more marquee players in his position, which is a testament to his longevity, and apparently, also played the peacemaker when tensions between Neymar and Edinson Cavani simmered earlier in the season.
