Cristiano Ronaldo & Juventus Dominate List of Serie A's Highest Earners

Serie A's highest earners have been revealed in a new report, with five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo unsurprisingly topping the list.

The Portuguese international, who is one of a whopping nine Juventus players inside the league's top ten earners, is attributed with an equally whopping €31m net salary, according to the report from Gazzetta dello Sport, as relayed by Football Italia.

That salary computes to almost €600,000-a-week, and is the principal reason behind the league's record-breaking gross salary expenditure of €1.36bn.

Two summer signings round out the top three, with former Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt following Ronaldo in second with an €8m salary and €4m in bonuses, and Inter's Romelu Lukaku - the only non-Old Lady in the top ten - in third with a total of €9m-a-year.
