Report: Silvio Berlusconi Orders Milan To Slash Wages
According to MilanNews.it, Italian Prime Minister and Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has already put in place the first measures to overhaul the club in light of their 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.
These measures would obviously invite lucrative bids from top European clubs for big stars such as Kaka, who earns €9m per year.
The Brazilian turned down a big-money move to Premier League side Manchester City in January, but it is believed that Spanish giants Real Madrid will revive their interest next summer.
