What exactly do the three values mean - 1st, 2nd and 3rd, I mean.

read the article. They are the average weekly wages for those clubs. The first value is in US dollars. The second in pound sterling. The third in euros.

Either PSG is lying to the French LFP (they need to get their annual budget approved by the league in France prior to each season) or ESPN got it very wrong. My money is on ESPN getting it very wrong. As has been shown, PSG or not, the league in France hammers everyone for breaking rules... PSG aren't that stupid.

It's average weekly wages. It's not the total weekly wages. What are the numbers on the PSG books? I very much doubt they would even have average weekly wages listed on financial statements. Usually it's total numbers.

Yeah. As i thought. PSG officially responded by saying the numbers shown in this study are severely overstated. It just made absolutely no sense whatsoever.

If PSG responded then it's probably true. "The lady doth protest too much methinks"

nah... usually they don't say a word about anything even if it's close to the truth but technically false. Something has to be completely false AND relevant for them to protest. They're not the combative/whinny type unlike, for example, Aulas of Lyon or Bartomeu of Barca.
