Haaland Becomes the Highest-Paid Footballer in the World with New Man City Deal
Erling Haaland has just secured a groundbreaking new contract with Manchester City, making him the highest-paid footballer in the world.
The Premier League champions confirmed on Friday that Haaland signed a remarkable nine-and-a-half-year deal.
According to Mail Sport, this contract is the richest ever offered to a player in the sport’s history.
Though the deal doesn’t quite push Haaland’s earnings to a £1 million weekly wage, it still represents a huge leap forward.
Back in 2022, it was reported that the 24-year-old striker was already raking in a staggering £865,000 every week, thanks to a lucrative wage and bonus structure following his £51 million transfer from Borussia Dortmund.
