"La Gazzetta dello Sport" publication counted the salaries of "Serie A" teams and players. At the top of the list is Turin's "Juventus".
It is calculated that "Juventus" will pay a total of 219 million euros to players in the 2018-19 season. Plenty of money is also spent on salaries by "Milan", which is not going through its best club era - 140 million euros.
In third place is another Milan team - "Inter" (116 million). "Roma" spends exactly 100 million euros on player salaries, while "Napoli" spends 94 million.
The players with the lowest earnings are in the ranks of "Empoli" - the annual sum for player salaries is 16 million euros, when, for example, one leader of "Juventus" earns twice as much as the entire "Empoli" team.
With the highest salary in "Serie A" since this summer is C. Ronaldo - 30 million euros. There is no match to his salary for the Portuguese - Gonzalo Higuain follows him, whose salary, compared to Cristiano, is more than three times smaller - 9.5 million euros.
After G. Higuain, three "Juventus" players follow - Paulo Dybala (7 million), Miralem Pjanic (6.5 million), and Douglas Costa (6 million).
