Manchester City Pay Erling Haaland Salary Of £865,000 A-week

Manchester City pay Erling Haaland an eye-watering £865,000-a-week.

It makes him the highest paid player in the Premier League by nearly half a million pound a week.

It also goes some way to explaining why officials at the Etihad were happy to sanction a mammoth salary for a man who is widely viewed as a game changer.

Thanks to a series of relatively straightforward bonuses, he is expected to pick up at least £45m (£865,000 a week) for a year’s work.

How that sum, which is apparently the talk of the agency world, goes down with other players remains to be seen, but few can argue with his impact. Haaland moved from Borussia Dortmund as part of a deal worth £51m and the 22-year-old signed a contract until 2027. It was reported that the Man City star would be earning a base salary of £375,000 each week, putting him equal at the top of the Premier League’s best-paid stars, along with teammate Kevin De Bruyne and Man United shot-stopper David de Gea.

However, considering all the bonuses attached to Haaland’s contract, the Daily Mail reports that the Man City star is the highest-paid player in the Premier League by nearly half a million pounds a week. The Norway international earns £865,000-a-week at the Etihad and that is expected to increase in the future.

According to the Daily Mail back in March, Man City are planning to offer the striker a bumper new contract as they look to increase his value following an incredible season.

The 22-year-old’s basic salary will increase to £500,000-a-week and overall, his weekly wage could pass £1m. This would cement the Norwegian’s place at the top of the Premier League’s highest earners but it will likely not go down well with some fans of rival clubs.
