Higuain becomes Serie A’s highest paid player, Pjanic and Dani Alves in the top 5

 Juventus are dominating this summer’s transfer market not only in Serie A, but also around Europe. The bianconeri newcomer Gonzalo Higuain has signed a five-year, € 7.5 million a year deal becoming the most paid footballer in Serie A.

Paul Pogba used to be the most paid player at Juventus with a salary set to € 4.5 million and is going to be offered a salary in line with the one of his new teammate, should the Frenchman agree to stay at the J Stadium rejecting a move to Manchester United.

Newcomers Dani Alves and Miralem Pjanic are also on a € 4.5 million deal each, just above Gigi Buffon and Sami Khedira (€ 4 million a year), whilst Bonucci, Chiellini, Mandzukic and Marchisio are getting € 3.5 million a year, Benatia and Dybala 3, Pjaca 2.5.

The Old Lady, however, is going to offer contract extension to both Bonucci and Dybala. The Italian defender (chased by Chelsea and Manchester City) will get € 4.5 million plus bonuses, Dybala will sign a new € 6 million-a-year deal.
