Italian's press leaked Serie A players wages and there is a huge difference between the top players.

Italian newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport" revealed this weekend who are the players from the Serie A that are best paid. At the very top of the list we find Cristiano Ronaldo, who earns 31 million euros for season and is clearly the highest wage of the league. Juventus bought him for 117 million euros on 2018 and signed him a contract that will last until 2022.

The Portuguese is the best paid player from Italy for far, as the second one in the list is his teammate from Juventus Matthijs de Ligt, with eight million euros. The wage of Cristiano is even higher than what four teams, Udinese, Chievo Verona, Spezia and Crotone from the league combined pay to their whole squad.


Paulo Dybala is the third player on Juventus wages as the Argentine earns 7.3 million euros. The top three from the league who complete the podium are Edin Dzeko, Romelu Lukaku and Christian Eriksen. After them, we find three players tied at the fourth position: Ibrahimovic, Rabiot, Ramsey and Alexis Sanchez, with 7 million euros.


The difference between the top teams is very remarkable and even more when talking about Juventus. La Vecchia Signora pays 236 million to their entire team while Inter 149, Roma 112, Napoli 105 and AC Milan 90.
