Ibrahimovic Serie A's Highest Paid Player

The rival club players earn a massive €20m between them per season and the Nerazzurri have equalled Milan’s total annual wage bill of around €120m per year following Jose Mourinho's arrival.

According to La Gazzetta Dello Sport, Ibrahimovic is the highest paid Serie A player and he earns a mega €11m per season.

It is believed he was on €6m before the summer but Inter increased that by giving the player an extra €5m in order to fend off interest from Real Madrid and keep the player at San Siro.

Across town, Kaka is the other high roller as he has €9m bungled into his accounts every year by the Rossoneri.

As expected the top four clubs dominate the wage ladder with Juvetus behind the Milanese duo with €115m going on salaries every year in Turin. This is a new record high for the Bianconeri.

Roma are way behind in fourth with only €60m being spent on player wages. The Giallorossi had to break salary caps this year in order to bring in top-class players to help push their Scudetto challenge forwards.

Fiorentina, Napoli and Genoa are the other movers and shakers. The Viola have seen heavy investment by the club’s owners and they are ready to make a serious challenge for the Champions League.

Reports suggest that the total Serie A wage bill this season will equal €768,4m which is a €101,9m increase on last year.
