Inter leadd the rankings, just ahead of Juventus. Napoli and Milan complete the group of four clubs with gross wage costs exceeding €100m. For reference, last season the Rossoneri were fifth and had a wage bill closer to Lazio’s than Inter’s,

The Nerazzurri have an estimated gross wage bill of €145.8m. The Bianconeri are right behind with €145.5m. The gap between the two clubs is therefore just €300,000, leaving Inter and Juve essentially tied at the top of the table.

  1. Rome, Turin and Venice are not clubs. Is Turin Torino or Juventus? 😂😂 You could at least READ what you post once? Just shows you’re copy paste translate media. Obvious.

  2. We need list of all players. Wage bill and ammortisation

    But Cardinale is running the business….

    Last season 25 million books in red.

    This season gross salary is the same, ammortisations are bigger. Nkunku, Ricci, Gimenez, Fofana -> potential cash, still under ammortisation list.

    Leao sale cut some costs and Ramos, Moreira, And Gila raise value of squad.

    There is potential for balance to be more in red -> in a case loaned players are not sold, and lower league and europa position.

    But Cardinale is operating business now on much higher value.

    Salary cup is on extremely high level in Ac Milan.

  3. And about 10% of that wage bill is going to Nkunku, Fofana and Bondo, who aren’t even playing for us… and doesn’t factor in the settlement with Bennacer.

    As things currently stand, RLC, Tomori and Modric (and Hutchinson) will come off that at the end of this season, but we’ll take back on whatever is covered by loans this year.
