brute = gross, so yes those are not the nets
They seem low as net. But then again doubling them to get net seems absurdly high. Reporting on salaries outside of Serie A and BPL seems so iffy.
You guys are probably right though. I just don't see anyone coming to Serie A or staying here if other teams are paying over double what we pay. Higuain for example would have never gone to Napoli for 6.5 net, if clubs like PSG are paying half their squad more than that. It has to be somewhere between the numbers DP84 sourced and the ridiculous numbers others are saying without sources.

Hard to know if there's no official data. Don't forget that it's only taken into account 17 players and there's no costs for technical staff and other employees, which Uefa probably included in their report. Tried to find other French sources, but they're all quoting le Parisien.
Juve's salary with players and tecnical stuff is at 179m and then there's 20m for other employees of the club, which in overall makes our salary budget of almost 200m for the last season.
Sorry for going on about this. I'm just legitimately interested in this, as I really don't understand how Serie A could attract even the top players it has if PSG and other clubs are paying what some in this thread are suggesting. Even the Zlatan stuff. Tons of garbage sources saying he makes 15mil net and tons saying he makes around that gross. But no official data.
As well, there is absolutely no way Pogba would have signed an extension at 4.5mil if other clubs could offer him 10mil already. Same deal with Higuain and any other top player still in Serie A. These clubs can pay their players more than we can, but even the Italians wouldn't stay at Juve if other teams could pay them double. Something's way off about Wage reporting in France and Spain.
Is Germany more transparent? Are there official figures for what Bayern pays its players?
