A report from today’s paper edition of the Milano based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport has analysed the wage bills of Serie A squads, with particular attention paid to Inter.

The report details how the Nerazzurri’s payroll has increased by tens of millions due to the club’s decision to sign multiple experienced players, with experienced veterans like Arturo Vidal receiving a high salary.

Tax benefits have dampened a significant amount of the burden, the report continues, with only Aleksandar Kolarov not receiving any tax bonuses because he was already in Italy.

Lazio’s wage bill has also risen from €72 million to €83 million, but the gap between Juventus and their competitors is still large. Inter’s total wage bill is around €149 million.

Inter are still working on closing the gap with Juventus and further work needs to be done, but a year ago the gap between the two clubs was around €150 million in wages, and so the Milanese club have reduced the distance a little.
