CF: Closer to Lazio than Inter – Milan’s wage ranking for 2025/26 season

This summer, AC Milan have had to lower their wages for the upcoming Serie A season, given they have no European commitments. 

There is no longer one above all when it comes to the Milan wage breakdown, Rafael Leao is not atop of the list, and now the mantle is shared by Adrien Rabiot and Christopher Nkunku, per reports this morning.

However, the Rossoneri’s wage bill is still significant, as Calcio e Finanza report this morning, with around €104.5 million spent on wages this season, a 0.6% decrease compared to last season’s figure of €105.1m.

These figures are not just available for the Diavolo, though, and Calcio Finanza have ordered the teams from the heaviest wage spending to the least, as can be seen below, thanks to MilanPosts on X.

In this table, Inter are the leaders in the table once again, with a staggering yearly wage spend of €141.5m, which is somehow a larger decrease than Milan’s this season. Then, they are followed by Juventus (€123m) and Napoli (€110m). Expectedly, this is where the Rossoneri would sit in. However, you would be wrong.

Roma, in fact, sit fourth, with a wage bill of €107.5m, whilst the Diavolo’s spending puts them fifth. In fact, the gap between themselves and Inter €37m is bigger than the gap to Lazio in sixth, who have a wage bill of €69.9m (-€34.6m).
