Comparing the squad wages of the top 8 Serie A sides in 2024-25 | OneFootball

Although you don’t need the squad wages to understand that AC Milan should be much higher in the standings, it’s still interesting to compare the top teams in that sense. So, how much do the top 8 sides pay in wages?

It has been a season of disappointment for the Rossoneri thus far, currently sitting in eighth place, and something special is required in the second half of the season. Indeed, taking a look at the squad wages of each team in the top 8 positions, the failure is clear.

Calcio e Finanza compiled the data back in September, following the closure of the summer window, and Milan are in third place overall with wages amounting to €104m gross. Fiorentina, meanwhile, are in seventh place despite currently sitting in fifth in the league standings.

Wages of top 8 clubs in Serie A

*Roma are currently not in the top eight, which is a huge failure.

Atalanta is without a doubt the most impressive, but it should also be noted that their project has always included relatively low wages. They develop players rather than signing ready and experienced ones, which naturally brings down the cost of the wages.
