Players of the French Ligue One outfit earn an average of $174, 692 every week and that adds up to just over $9 million every year.
Real Madrid and Manchester City come second and third on the list, paying $166, 180 and $165, 343 respectively every week on average. The Los Angeles Dodgers are the first non-soccer team to make the list, coming in fifth. The Major League Baseball team pays $154, 292 on average, slightly ahead of Manchester United.
