With Victor Osimhen’s departure from Napoli, Dusan Vlahovic has become the highest-paid player in Serie A, earning €12 million per season with Juventus. Vlahovic’s lucrative contract places him ahead of a trio of Inter Milan stars who have recently signed improved deals.
His big salary could soon be lowered, as Juventus look to shrink their wage bill as the club is ready to offer him a contract extension, but for less than 10 million euros per year.
The only scenario where Juventus and #Vlahovic could renew together would be at a lower fixed salary then €10.5m (soon to be raised to €12m wages).
Juventus could possibly meet Dusan halfway with an offer that reaches €10m through bonuses but the player has to give up… pic.twitter.com/kPCDuit0wU

Inter captain Lautaro Martinez follows Vlahovic with an annual salary of €9 million, while midfielders Hakan Calhanoglu and Nicolo Barella each earn €6.5 million per year. New Napoli signing Romelu Lukaku and Inter’s Marcus Thuram are both on €6 million per season, with Lukaku taking a substantial pay cut to leave Chelsea.
AC Milan’s Rafael Leao earns €5 million annually, sharing the same salary bracket as Juventus players Arthur, Douglas Luiz, and Gleison Bremer.
These figures represent only the base pay and do not include performance bonuses, which can significantly boost players’ overall earnings.
