Kaka is Serie A's Top Earner

Filed in archive General on September 11, 2007

Football mad Italian pink paper Gazzetta dello Sport has published all the Serie A salaries, and Milan's Kaka tops the list. The Brazilian genius takes home a decent €6.0 million a year, which is more than enough to keep him in religiously themed t-shirts. Francesco Totti is second top-earner with €5.5 million, while the next three are all Inter players on €5 million (Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Patrick Vieira and [cough] Adriano.) As in all the big leagues, there's a huge rich/poor divide. Poor little Cagliari's total wage budget is only €11 million, which means they could afford Kaka and say Vieira, but would have to play two-a-side.
