Winners of their second consecutive Champions League title, Paris Saint-Germain have hit the jackpot once again. Thanks to their European campaign, the Parisian club are set to receive nearly €150 million!
On Saturday evening, at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, Paris Saint-Germain retained their European crown by beating Arsenal (1-1, 4-3 on penalties) in the Champions League final. The capital club has also increased its earnings from this European campaign.
Already guaranteed €139.4 million before the final, Paris SG has taken its total to €149.9 million! Thanks to their victory, the European champions received the €6.5 million winner’s bonus, as well as an additional €4 million for their participation in the upcoming UEFA Super Cup, where Luis Enrique’s players will face Aston Villa, winners of the Europa League, at the start of next season.
The breakdown of the €149.9 million
PSG received €18.62 million for their participation in the Champions League. This sum is paid to all clubs qualifying for the group stage. Having finished this stage in 11th place in the group (with 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats), the Parisians collected €18.7 million in performance bonuses. The following bonuses add to the total: €1 million for getting through the play-offs, €11 million for qualifying for the round of 16, €12.5 million for the quarter-finals, €15 million for the semi-finals, and €18.5 million for the final.
In addition to these performance-related bonuses, UEFA pays participants a ‘value bonus’. This consists of two components: one calculated based on the country’s contribution to Champions League TV rights and the club’s five-year UEFA coefficient, and a second based on the club’s UEFA coefficient over the last ten years. For PSG, this bonus is estimated at €44.1 million.
PSG will receive more than the other clubs
By way of comparison, Arsenal will receive an estimated €143.2 million for reaching the final. Bayern Munich, who were knocked out by Paris in the semi-finals (4-5, 1-1), will receive €127.3 million. The fourth semi-finalist, Atlético Madrid, will receive €104.2 million, slightly less than Liverpool (€109.5 million), who were knocked out by Paris SG in the quarter-finals (0-2, 0-2). For their part, Marseille and Monaco will receive around €55 million.
PSG will thus receive nearly €300 million over two seasons, including last year’s €148 million, thanks to their Champions League double. Not to mention the €95 million pocketed during the Club World Cup last summer. Enough to widen the gap with other French clubs even further. The Parisian players, for their part, are not to be outdone, with a €1 million bonus to be distributed to each of them (read here).
Transfer Window: Létang makes his intentions clear regarding Bouaddi, who is being tracked by PSG and Arsenal
Having impressed in a Lille shirt, Ayyoub Bouaddi could be a key figure in the summer transfer window. However, LOSC are determined to keep hold of their talented midfielder.
After another impressive season in the Lille shirt, Ayyoub Bouaddi has confirmed his talent and is sure to attract suitors this summer. But LOSC are determined to keep their young midfielder.
Létang wants to keep Bouaddi
Speaking to RMC, Olivier Létang gave an update on the situation regarding his rising star. “Ayyoub Bouaddi has extended his contract until 2029, so he has three years left. He’s 18 – where else can he be sure of a starting place in a team competing in the Champions League? Apart from LOSC, there aren’t many,” began the president of the northern club, clearly keen to convince his player first.
Bouaddi, who has just completed his second full season as a professional (37 appearances in 2024–25, 42 appearances in 2025–26), might he be tempted by a new challenge if approached by a bigger club? The question could arise as his name is linked with Paris Saint-Germain and Premier League sides, including Arsenal. But, for now, Létang remains confident.
€50m, ‘it’s not enough’
‘We’ll discuss it with Ayyoub. To be perfectly honest, it has also been the subject of our discussions. We have very, very, very regular exchanges with Ayyoub. Our aim is to keep him,” says the northern club’s director. In short, Bouaddi is not for sale. But there are offers that are impossible to refuse. “If something comes along with an extraordinary sum… Words are overused, so ‘extraordinary’ means a lot of money.”
When asked whether an offer of €50 million might make Lille waver, his response was unequivocal: “No, that’s not enough,” replied the LOSC boss. “When I say extraordinary, I mean something extraordinary. We’re a long way from the figure that would allow us to let Ayyoub go.” According to the latest reports, the northern club currently values its star player at over €80 million.
