Neymar earns twice as much as Mbappe and Cavani
French newspaper 'L'Equipe' released a list on Tuesday revealing the 30 best-paid players in Ligue 1, with the Brazilian way in front of his team-mates and rivals.
The amount a player gets paid has increased exponentially in recent years and that appears to be the case in France thanks to Paris Saint-Germain's huge transfer investments.
