How much is the current Juventus roster worth? Exactly 195 million USD, which is the total gross salary of the Old Lady’s footballers, according to the Italian Gazzetta dello Sport. And it is the highest paid team in Serie A by some mark, because the budgets of the next four teams for players’ salaries do not exceed 150 million USD, while two (Milan and Atalanta) are even below 115 million.Those 195 million USD seem like a lot, right? Well not really, if you compare Juventus to other European giants, which go up to the amounts of 210 million USD (Chelsea), over 214 million (Liverpool), 230 million (Manchester United), 290 million (Manchester City) and almost 530 million (Barcelona).Sat, 20.00: (4.40) BOLOGNA (3.50) JUVENTUS (1.95)When the mentioned amount is “broken down” into days, Juventus allocates 537,000 USD per day for players’ salaries, ie 3.77 million per week, and 16.3 million USD per month.The highest paid is Paulo Dybala with a little over 15 million USD gross. But there are “only” 8.2 million USD left for the Argentine when taxes and duties are deducted. The Dutchman Matthijs de Ligt (14.6 million USD gross) enjoys greater tax relief – considering that he is a citizen of one of the European Union country – he makes more money at the end of the month, hence more on a yearly basis.The current total salary amount, which was significantly reduced thanks to the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United (he earned 35 million USD net per season), is the result of a different corporate policy of the club compared to the situation before the pandemic.Nobody really wants Icardi – yet nobody is giving up on himJuventus has reportedly changed its strategy in the last two seasons, focusing on young players with more sustainable engagements. The annual salary of football players who have come since the summer of 2020 does not exceed 5.6 million USD net. And the highest paid are Federico Chiesa and Alvaro Morata.Gazzetta dello Sport also states that the salaries of Aaron Ramsey and Adrian Rabiot (9 million USD net each) are the pebble in the shoe for the Bianconeri and the club would like to get rid off such a burden in January. But, it is not easy striking a deal for these two to leave the club and sign somewhere else because of their large income, which is an obstacle for all those interested in hiring them.
