But beware: there are names you might not expect at the top of the list of the world’s highest salaries.

Between surprises, confirmations, and some jaw-dropping comparisons, the salaries for the 2025/26 season are sparking debate… and dreams.

🇮🇹 Vlahovic, the (surprise) king of Serie A

Dusan Vlahovic hasn’t always been flawless at Juventus, but he remains the highest-paid player in the Italian league: €22.2 million gross.

A figure that puts him ahead of many international stars.

⚽ Lautaro and Yamal: two worlds, same salary

“El Toro” Lautaro Martínez earns €16.67 million, the same as Lamine Yamal, Barcelona’s wonderkid who, at just 18 years old, takes home as much as an established top player.

Two different stories, but the same stellar salary.

🤑 The global top: Haaland and Mbappé untouchable

If we look at the global podium, the gap is huge:

The others, from Salah to Lewandowski, remain below €24 million, but still in a world light years away from ordinary mortals.

🏟️ Former Serie A players and missed signings

There are some curiosities: Pavard at OM breaks PSG’s dominance in Ligue 1 with €9 million, while Timothy Weah “settles” for €4.6 million.

In Spain and England, Italians abroad like Raspadori and Amrabat earn well, while notable missed arrivals in Serie A include Kolo Muani (€9M at Tottenham) and Sancho (€12M at Aston Villa).

📊 The ranking that sparks debate

Donnarumma, Vinicius Jr., Bellingham, Van Dijk, Neuer, Oblak: all between €15 and €21 million.

The top 20 salaries of 2025/26 is a carousel of stars and dizzying figures, with Serie A holding on only thanks to Vlahovic.
