With the transfer window mainly done, we can now finally take a look at the financial picture of AC Milan for this season.
There, of course, can be more signings made in January, but for now, Milan are a finished article. Though some players can still leave, with a few European and Asian markets still open for a few days longer.

Ismael Bennacer, as confirmed this morning, has left for GNK Dinamo, and maybe he will not be the last.
Milan’s wages
Regardless of that, Calcio e Finanza have taken a look at the Rossoneri’s wage bill for the upcoming season. The most important figure is the total wages paid, and the club have seen a slight decrease, though this was to be expected.
Without Europe, a lot of bonuses will drop, and there isn’t as much room to have a massive wage budget. So, last season, there was around €69.7 million paid in net salaries, whereas this season it is only €63.9m. Though there is only a €0.6m difference in gross salaries.
For what it is worth, this figure also includes the €4m salary of Ismael Bennacer, who departed this morning, pending a medical.
Rafael Leao is no longer the highest earner, with Adrien Rabiot and Christopher Nkunku also in the same wage bracket; the trio will earn €5m this season. Then, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christian Pulisic and Divock Origi each earn €4m.
In terms of the other new boys, the wages are not too bad. Luka Modric will earn €3.5m, Ardon Jashari, Samuele Ricci and Pervis Estupinan €2.5m, Koni De Winter will earn €1.7m, whilst Zachary Athekame and David Odogu will earn €1m and €0.8m, respectively.
Complete list
- Rabiot: €5m net
- Leao: €5m
- Nkunku: €5m
- Bennacer: €4m
- Loftus-Cheek: €4m
- Origi: €4m
- Pulisic: €4m
- Modric: €3.5m
- Tomori: €3.5m
- Fofana: €3m
- Maignan: €2.8m
- Jashari: €2.5m
- Ricci: €2.5m
- Gimenez: €2.5m
- Estupinan: €2.5m
- Gabbia: €2m
- Pavlovic: €1.7m
- De Winter: €1.7m
- Saelemaekers: €1.3m
- Athekame: €1m
- Adli: €0.8m
- Terracciano: €0.8m
- Odogu: €0.8m
- Torriani: €0.8m
Saele needs a raise. Fofana needs to get less :p
“Origins: 4 million euros;”LMAO
Origi, our secret weapon.
Other teams be afraid, be very afraid.
I can’t imagine Dinamo will pay Bennacer’s full €4M salary..
how is Maignan on such a low amount compared to others?
Because our management couldn’t decide if they want to sell him or keep him and ultimately he decided for them to not extend and leave for free. Also, he became a household name only after he joined us.
Origi is the worst transfer in the last 20 years probably, but the 4M salary was only because of the free transfer. In a 5y scenario, it would be the same cost as to pay 2m per year +10m transfer fee. The main issue is when his salary is way above his real paygrade, you can’t make him leave. Same scenario as Vlahovic, but with a lower salary and negative input on the field in our case.
300.000/y? I got nett wage 160M/y and I have to press all my expenses!
“Origins” lol 😂….where it all began 😄
Also Rabiot and Nkuunku totally deserved to be among the highest paid players in the team /s
