Juventus splurge record £150m-per-year on wages with 7 stars on more than £160k-a-week – double pay of latest signings

JUVENTUS reportedly splurged an Italian record of £150million on wages this year.

Gazzetta Italia claims seven first-team stars are on more than £160,000-a-week.


And the annual £150m spend is the biggest in Serie A history.

That’s despite some summer signings including Manuel Locatelli reportedly earning half the amount being paid to others.

It’s reckoned the likes of Matthijs de Ligt, Paulo Dybala and Aaron Ramsey are Juventus’ top earners following Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Manchester United last summer.

Adrien Rabiot, Leonardo Bonucci, Wojciech Szczesny and Alex Sandro are also earning upwards of £160k each week thanks to long-term mega deals.

However, Juventus’ recent performances show the well-paid players may not be deserving of their lucrative wage packets.

The Turin side lost their grip on the Serie A title to Inter Milan last term, despite winning it the previous nine years.
