Luis Enrique is poised for a massive raise with PSG, cementing his spot among football's elite managers.
In talks with PSG over a new contract, Luis Enrique could soon break into the top five highest-paid managers in the world -- currently sitting behind Mikel Arteta at Arsenal and Antonio Conte at Napoli, among others.
Under contract at PSG until 2027 following his February 2025 extension, Enrique reportedly earns 1 million euros gross per month according to L'Equipe, making him the highest-paid manager in Ligue 1, well ahead of Paulo Fonseca at Lyon and Habib Beye at Marseille, whose estimated gross monthly salaries stand at 350,000 and 230,000 euros respectively.
Luis Enrique has been in discussions with PSG for several months over a contract extension through 2030 that would naturally include a significant salary increase. According to L'Equipe, Enrique's future salary could be around 20 million euros gross per year -- or 1.66 million euros gross per month. In other words, Enrique could receive a raise of 660,000 euros per month compared to his current contract.
A Future Salary of 20 Million Euros Gross Per Year for Luis Enrique?
Given his accomplishments at the helm of PSG since his arrival in 2023 and since his last extension -- including the club's first-ever Champions League title won last May -- such a significant raise would hardly be unreasonable. The Asturian manager is also more sought-after than ever abroad, particularly in England, where he has never managed.
Should he extend his contract at PSG with a raise to 20 million euros gross per year, Luis Enrique would become the fourth-highest-paid manager in the world, according to L'Equipe estimates, surpassing Antonio Conte (15.6 million euros per year at Napoli) and Mikel Arteta (15 million euros per year at Arsenal), among others.
Three managers would still earn more than Luis Enrique: Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid (29.8 million euros), Simone Inzaghi at Al-Hilal (25.1 million euros), and Pep Guardiola at Manchester City (23.8 million euros).
Asked Thursday about the leaks regarding his salary and whether they could cause friction in his locker room, Luis Enrique appeared surprised and slightly irritated: "Do you think my players care about my salary? Talking about that, I find it 'fuera de lugar' -- out of place, beside the point. But of course I am one of the highest-paid managers in the world, and that is something beautiful for me."
