The Qatari-owned PSG’s average weekly wage – £101,898 – makes them
sport’s biggest spenders, ranking them above Real Madrid (£96,933), last
year’s top-ranked Manchester City (£96,445) and Barcelona (£90,675).
Major League Baseball’s Los Angeles Dodgers (£89,999) complete the top five.
Now, eight of the top 12 in the list are football teams, three come from baseball and one from basketball – though the NBA remains the top paying league as a whole, with players averaging £2.67m annually. The average per player in England’s Premier League was £2.23m during the period under review.
Four of the top 12 teams are based in the US, four in England, two in Spain and one each in France and Germany.
