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.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
