Here's a detailed look at Inter's top 10 earners… 10 Davide Frattesi €99,808 per week
Midfielder Davide Frattesi scored an iconic Champions League winner against Barcelona during Inter’s route to the final in 2025.
He made his transfer from Sassuolo permanent in 2024 and is under contract until 2028.
9 Stefan de Vrij €135,385 per week
Experienced centre-back Stefan de Vrij has now played more games for Inter than any of his previous clubs, having joined in 2018.
Formerly of Feyenoord and Lazio, the Dutchman signed his latest Inter deal in 2023. However, he is currently set to be out of contract in 2026.
8 Federico Dimarco €142,500 per week
Academy graduate Federico Dimarco is arguably one of the best left-wing backs in Europe right now.
However, it hasn’t been plain sailing for Dimarco, who has had spells with Ascoli, Empoli, Sion, Parma and Hellas Verona before starring with Inter.
7 Marcus Thuram €147,885 per week
Inter were able to offer Marcus Thuram an eye-catching €7.69m per-year salary in 2023 after the forward became a free agent.
Thuram left Borussia Monchengladbach and has impressed at the San Siro since joining Inter, with his deal not expiring until 2028.
6 Piotr Zielinski €160,192 per week
Another free agent brought in at the San Siro was midfielder Piotr Zielinski, who left rivals Napoli in the summer of 2024.
The Poland international had spent eight years with the Partenopei and four years with Udinese, so has plenty of experience in Serie A – something Inter will hope to benefit from until 2028.
5 Manuel Akanji €178,077 per week
Inter Milan signed Manuel Akanji on loan from Manchester City on deadline day in the summer of 2025 and have the option to make a move permanent in 2026.
The Swiss defender will collect €9.2m in wages during the 2025/26 season from the Italian giants.
4 Alessandro Bastoni €195,962 per week
Alessandro Bastoni was signed as a teenager back in 2017, arriving from Atalanta in a deal worth more than €30m.
In recent years, the Italy international has established himself as one of the best centre-backs in Europe, and luckily for Inter, he signed a five-year deal in 2023.
3 Hakan Calhanoglu €213,654 per week
Midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu swapped city rivals Milan for Inter in 2021 after leaving the former as a free agent.
HIs controversial move didn’t go down well with Rossoneri supporters, but Inter are the ones who have benefited from having the experienced Turkey international on their books, with his current deal running until 2027.
2 Nicolo Barella €231,538 per week
Italy international Nicolo Barella joined Inter on loan with an obligation to buy from Cagliari back in 2019 and has been an ever-present figure since then.
He has scored more than 20 goals and provided over 60 assists in blue and black, justifying his €230k per week wage. Barella’s deal doesn’t expire until 2029.
1 Lautaro Martinez €320,577 per week
Comfortably Inter’s highest-paid player is striker Lautaro Martinez, who signed his latest €16.67m per year deal in 2024 to end speculation of a move away.
The Argentinian, now the club captain, has been with Inter since 2018 and has won seven major honours with the Italian giants.
