With Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure, Matthijs de Ligt has become the highest-paid player in the Juventus squad, according to Calcio e Finanza.
The combined net salaries of Juventus players now total nearly €104 million, which translates to gross salaries of approximately €169.43 million. This marks a significant decrease in salary expenditure compared to the beginning of the 2020/21 season, when the wage bill stood at €236 million—a difference of €66.6 million.
The primary factor behind this reduction is Ronaldo’s exit. The Portuguese superstar earned a net salary of €31 million (€57.3 million gross). Below is a detailed breakdown of the current Juventus players’ salaries, both net and gross:
- De Ligt: €7m net (€10.48m gross)
- Dybala: €7.3m (€13.51m)
- Ramsey: €7m (€9.17m)
- Rabiot: €7m (€9.17m)
- Szczesny: €6.5m (€12.03m)
- Bonucci: €6.5m (€12.03m)
- Alex Sandro: €6m (€11.10m)
- Cuadrado: €5m (€9.25m)

It’s also important to note that the calculation of gross salaries considers tax relief provided by Italy’s Growth Decree. This policy benefits players who were tax residents outside of Italy in the two years before joining Serie A and commit to maintaining tax residency in Italy for at least two years after their arrival. Players like De Ligt, Morata, and Kean qualify for this relief, reducing their gross salary costs.
