Milan are one of the most historic clubs in Europe. However, they have won just one Serie A title in the last 13 years.
Despite this, the Rossoneri still have a number of stars at the San Siro, and as a result, have an annual payroll of €96.6m, with the average player earning €68,803 a week.
But who earns the most? Football FanCast has ranked every Milan player in the first-team squad in order from highest to lowest in terms of wages for the 2024/25 season, with the help of Capology.

All 20 Premier League managers’ salaries (lowest to highest)
Football FanCast breaks down how much each Premier League gaffer earns.
Here’s a detailed look at AC Milan’s top 10 earners…
10
Ruben Loftus-Cheek
€98,654 per week
Starting the countdown is Ruben Loftus-Cheek, with the midfielder joining Milan from Chelsea in 2023.
The Englishman penned a four-year deal and has already made more than 50 appearances in red and black.
9
Samuel Chukwueze
€98,654 per week
After impressing during his time in Spain at Villarreal, Milan decided to pay around €20m to sign winger Samuel Chukwueze in 2023.
The Nigerian was handed a five-year deal and he also earns just over €5.1m per season.
8
Theo Hernandez
€98,654 per week
Some may have expected Theo Hernandez to be higher up this list, considering he has arguably been one of Europe’s best left-backs in recent years.
The France international swapped Real Madrid for Milan in 2019, and that has proven to be a shrewd move, allowing Hernandez to play regular first-team football. He signed his current four-year contract in 2022.
7
Christian Pulisic
€98,654 per week
The final player picking up €5.13m per season is Christian Pulisic, with the attacker really finding his feet in Italy after a tricky period with Chelsea.
Captain of the United States, Pulisic signed in 2023 and has been a regular ever since. He’ll soon surpass his tally of 26 Chelsea goals with Milan in fewer games.

Alessandro Florenzi
€106,923 per week
One of six players picking up more than €100,000 per week is full-back Alessandro Florenzi, who will be best known for his time with Serie A rivals Roma.
The Italy international swapped Rome for Milan in 2021 on an initial loan basis, but that became permanent a year later. His current deal is set to expire in 2025.
5
Youssouf Fofana
€106,923 per week
On the same €5.56m-per-season salary as Florenzi is midfielder Youssouf Fofana, who arrived in 2024 from Monaco at a cost of a reported €25m.
The France international was linked with the likes of Manchester United before signing for Milan, penning a four-year deal at the San Siro.
4
Tammy Abraham
€110,962 per week
Tammy Abraham is only on loan at Milan from Roma for the 2024/25 season, but recent history could repeat itself.
Like there was for Florenzi, there is an option to make a move permanent for Abraham in 2025, with Milan currently paying the English forward a salary of €5.77m for the year.
3
Rafael Leao
€123,269 per week
Winger Rafael Leao has been attracting plenty of interest after his starring displays in Italy.
The Portugal international was signed for €35m in 2019, and should Milan cash in over the coming years, they could make a healthy profit.
2
Ismael Bennacer
€135,385 per week
Defensive midfielder Ismael Bennacer arrived at the San Siro from Empoli back in 2019 and has been a regular ever since, helping Milan win the Serie A title in 2022.
The Algeria international is under contract until 2027 and collects €7.04m per season.
1
Alvaro Morata
€160,192 per week
Topping the charts as Milan’s highest-paid player is striker Alvaro Morata, picking up €8.33m per season.
The Spain captain has represented some of the biggest clubs in the world during his career, with the Rossoneri paying Atletico Madrid €13m for the forward in 2024.
