PSG 2026: pre-assist now earns the same bonus as a goal | OneFootball

PSG have put the pre-assist on the same bonus footing as a goal or assist, a move aimed at rewarding the collective and keeping the dressing room financially balanced, according to L'Équipe.

The club has widened its definition of a decisive action to include the penultimate pass. The amount is undisclosed, but the intention is to recognise less heralded profiles and broaden the pool of reward.

On 13 February, after a 1-3 defeat to Rennes, Ousmane Dembélé lamented individual choices when a pass was on. On 21 March, PSG beat Nice 4-0, with Dro Fernandez scoring his first goal as Dembélé led the celebrations.

Coaches and staff see these workers as the ones who break lines, unsettle blocks and spark the decisive move, even if their influence is less visible. Whether bonuses can directly change decision making is unclear, and the scheme is framed more as a symbol to support a broader evolution of Paris’s game model.

The top 10 gross monthly salaries at PSG: O. Dembélé 1,500,000€, Marquinhos 1,120,000€, Hakimi 1,100,000€, L. Hernandez 1,100,000€, Zaïre-Emery 950,000€, Vitinha 900,000€, Kvaratskhelia 900,000€, J. Neves 900,000€, Nuno Mendes 800,000€, Pacho 800,000€, F. Ruiz 800,000€. The average gross monthly salary is 650,000€.
