31 million euros per season. That is what Juventus pay Cristiano Ronaldo. He is the best paid player in Serie A.
'La Gazzetta dello Sport' made public the salaries of all the players in Serie A. The Portuguese gets almost four times more than teammate Matthijs de Ligt, eight million euros.
In fact, Cristiano Ronaldo earns the same as the four highest earning players at Juventus and more than the 11 lowest earners. These include Buffon and Morata.
In a few weeks, De Ligt will go past Paulo Dybala who gets 7.3 million euros a year at the moment. Only Edin Dzeko, Romelu Lukaku and Christian Eriksen, with 7.5 million a year get more. Ibrahimovic, Rabiot, Ramsey and Alexis Sanchez are all just behind on seven million euros.
The financial power of Juventus means their players are the best paid. The 'Bianconeri' pay a total of 236 million euros to their players, Inter 149, Roma 112, Napoli 105 and AC Milan 90.
There is a huge difference between the amount of money the top clubs have with the smaller ones. Cristiano Ronaldo earns more than the either squads at Spezia (22 million), Crotone (23) and Verona (24) and the same as Udinese (31).
Juventus are once again looking to win Serie A and Cristiano Ronaldo wants to shine again.
