Ranking the 5 highest-paid players in Serie A right now

#3 Christian Eriksen (Inter Milan) - £250,000 weekly

Will we see Eriksen in Serie A this season?

Inter Milan midfielder Christian Eriksen sits in third spot on the list of the highest paid footballers in Serie A at the moment. The playmaker bagged a juicy contract when he joined Inter Milan from Tottenham Hotspur last year and he is paid a massive £250,000 weekly.

Eriksen was influential as the Nerazzurri claimed the Serie A title last season, recording three goals to his name from 26 appearances. However, there are doubts over his participation this term due to health concerns following his collapse on the pitch while representing his nation at the European Championship in June.

Meanwhile, the midfielder was allowed to visit Inter's training ground recently and reports claim he could be allowed to return to the field but under certain conditions. It remains to be seen whether he will feature this season.

#2 Matthijs De Ligt (Juventus) - £280,000 weekly

Massive wages for the young defender

The defender's stunning performances for Ajax during the 2018/2019 campaign caught the attention of Juventus, who decided to snap him up in a deal worth €75 million at the end of the season. He was also granted a massive £280,000 per week contract in Turin, making him the second-highest paid footballer in Serie A at the moment.

Matthijs De Ligt has made 75 appearances in the Bianconeri's shirt so far, with a record of five goals and two assists to his name. The center-back has also won three honors at Allianz Stadium, which includes the Serie A title, the Coppa Italia and the Italian Super Cup.

#1 Cristiano Ronaldo (Juventus) - £520,563 weekly

The Portuguese is unchallenged at the top of the Serie A wage list

Cristiano Ronaldo left Real Madrid to join Juventus on a record deal during the summer of 2018. In addition to becoming the most expensive signing in Serie A history, the Portuguese also became the highest-paid player in the division and he's kept his place at the top of the wages list over the last three years.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner receives a mouth-watering compensation of £520,563 per week in Turin. He signed a four-year contract with the club, which will expire at the end of the 2021-22 season.

Ronaldo has been a huge force to reckon with ever since he switched to Serie A. He finished as the league's top scorer last term, with a return of 29 goals from 33 games. So far, he's bagged 101 goals and 22 assists in the Bianconeri's jersey across 133 appearances.
