Paulo Dybala is acknowledged to be one of the most talented players in the Serie A, so it is no surprise he is handsomely compensated by Juventus for his services.

The striker, who joined Juventus in 2015 from Palermo, has scored 70 goals in the Serie A for the club since his arrival. While he has struggled for form in recent fixtures, he was named the Serie A MVP for the 2019-20 campaign and has the ability to justify his £230,000 a week salary.


#T3 Edin Dzeko (AS Roma) - £240,000 per week

In the current scenario where player valuations and salaries are going through the roof, it is difficult to find players who actually justify their weekly wages. AS Roma striker Edin Dzeko is one of the few players who has earned the right to be his side's top-earning player, with reliable output in front of the goal for the Giallorossi.

His £240,000 per week salary might seem a bit too much for a player approaching the twilight of his career. However, Dzeko is an important player for Roma and has seven goals in 14 outings league outings this season.


#T3 Romelu Lukaku (Inter Milan) - £250,000 per week

Strikers are usually the best-paid players in a football team. While it may seem a bit unfair at first sight, it does make sense given the kind of impact No.9s can have on the outcome of any given game.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's arrival at the San Siro has helped AC Milan stay at the top of the Serie A standings this season. And a similar kind of effect has been observed at their city rivals Inter.

Romelu Lukaku's £74 million transfer in 2019 was a huge gamble on Antonio Conte's part. Fortunately, the Belgian striker has been prolific in front of goal for the club and is slowly proving himself worth every penny.

He is the club's joint-top earner and takes home £250,000 per week, which is roughly the same amount he was paid by former employers, Manchester United.
