The total spend on wages has dramatically fallen across Serie A.
Gazzetta dello Sport says Serie A clubs are now spending close to a combined £500million less on wages compared with 2011 as even the league's highest earners collect far less than Premier League and La Liga stars.
Paul Pogba, for example, is set to earn just £23,000-per-week net this season despite being one of the most talented young midfielders in the world and a player Juventus will no doubt hope to keep hold of.
Former Chelsea star and AS Roma fullback Ashley Cole decided to move to Italy after failing to agree a contract extenstion with the Blues and has signed up to earn around £35,000-per-week with Rudi Garcia's side.
The highest earner in the country is Roma teammate Daniele de Rossi - on £100,000-per-week.
