Berlusconi Orders -30% Wage Reduction




Italian Prime Minister and Milan Patron Silvio Berlusconi has already put in place the first measures to overhaul the club in light of the recent failures on the field of play.

It is suggested that vice president Adriano Galliani has been entrusted with the difficult task of considerably reducing the club’s wage expenditure to better cope with the current economic climate.

Milan currently top the ‘salary chart’ in Italian football. They pay a total of €120 million per season in wages - the same amount as Inter - while Juventus come in third with €115m. But Berlusconi thinks that this situation has now become unsustainable and has demanded a 30 per cent cut, which means that their wage budget will be slashed to around €90m per season.

Galliani will surely start with Dida and Emerson, who earn at least €4m for being non key players. Contract renewals for Ambrosini and Favalli will be among the first to be exposed to this budget cut.
