The fact that Cristiano Ronaldo - the goal of Juventus - is the highest paid player in the Italian league is not surprising, but that he is paid more than 4 teams combined in the tournament, this is shocking.
The Portuguese international, who is approaching his 36th year, earns 31 million euros annually, equivalent or less than the total salaries of Udinese, Hellas Verona, Spezia and Crotone teams.
According to the newspaper "La Gazzetta dello Sport", Ronaldo's income is about 4 times higher than his closest competitor in the list of highest-earning players, which is the Dutch "Matthias de Ligt", his teammate in "Juventus", who earns 8 million euros.
As for the rest of the players, their salaries vary:
Belgian Romelu Lukaku (Inter Milan): 7.5 million euros.
Dane Christian Eriksen (Inter Milan): 7.5 million euros.
Bosnian Eden Dzeko (Rome): 7.5 million euros.
Chile's Alexis Sanchez (Inter Milan): 7 million euros.
Swedish Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Milan): 7 million euros.
Arturo Vidal (Inter Milan): 6.5 million euros.
