CF: Milan’s squad cost up €20m for 2024-25 – how it compares with Inter and Juventus | OneFootball

The 2024 summer transfer window has closed and that allows for some comparisons to be made on the squad costs of each supposed contender in Serie A.

Calcio e Finanza have reported the figures, noting an increase in spending for the 2024-25 squad due above all to incoming market investments, and providing a comparison with the two main rivals Inter and Juventus.

The cost of Milan’s squad has seen significant growth at the start of the new campaign as it has increased by approximately €20m compared to the 2023-24 season (+12.9%), going from approximately €155.2m to €175.1m .

To estimate the impact on the budget – including those permanently present in the squad, those loaned and those who arrived on loan – Calcio e Finanza considered the gross salaries (when paid by Milan), the amortisation quota for each individual player and any costs related to players arriving on a paid loan.

The main factor that weighed on this increase were the investments made by the club on the incoming market, with higher costs of approximately €50m, not sufficiently compensated by the lower costs from exits (approximately €16m, without considering capital gains and loan revenues).

These are expenses that Milan was able to sustain thanks to their excellent economic and financial health, with the Rossoneri club’s balance sheet set to close with a profit also in 2023-24 after registering one the year prior.
