Despite the highest wage bill in Serie A, Inter have slipped to fourth place in the annual ranking of squad values in the league.
Calcio e Finanza publish their rankings each year, where they calculate the total value of each squad by combining the wage bill with the amortisation rates for each clubโs players.
Napoli have surged into the top spot, with a total squad cost of โฌ240.5 million, with โฌ130.5 million on amortisation rates and โฌ110 million on player wages.

The Neapolitan side overtake Juventus, who sit in second with a total of โฌ235 million (โฌ112 million in amortisation and โฌ123 million in player wages).
Inter are the only side that pay more in wages than the Bianconeri, with a total squad cost of โฌ194.7 million consisting of just โฌ53.2 million in amortisation rates and โฌ141.7 million in player wages. This is indicative of the Nerazzurriโs reluctance to spend big money on transfers split over long multi-year contracts.
Milan round off Serie A squad cost podium as Roma, Atalanta and Lazio trail biggest clubs
Milan rank in third in this seasonโs rankings, with โฌ93 million in amortisation costs combined with โฌ104.5 million in wages for a total of โฌ197.5 million.
There is some distance between the top four, however, and the next four of the biggest clubs in Italy.

Romaโs total squad cost comes in at โฌ163.5 million, Atalanta rank next with โฌ132 million and Fiorentina after La Divinitร ย on โฌ111.5 million.
Lazio complete the top eight, who managed to still increase their squad cost for this season, despite a transfer embargo preventing the Biancocelesti from signing any players who had not previously agreed a permanent move after a loan, which is where the clubโs increase came from.
