FOOTBALL: Erling Haaland’s weekly salary of about £1 million reveals shocking financial details

Erling Haa­land, who joined Man­ches­ter City from Borus­sia Dort­mund this sum­mer, has a new con­tract to become the world’s high­est-paid footballer.

Erling Haa­land earns a whop­ping £900,000 a week at Man­ches­ter City.

Cit­i­zens acquired Haa­land from Borus­sia Dort­mund for €58m this sum­mer, a sum that was seen as an incred­i­ble val­ue for mon­ey for arguably the most deter­mined play­er in world football.

How­ev­er, due to agent fees and sub­se­quent con­trac­tu­al agree­ments, the actu­al trans­ac­tion val­ue increased significantly.

Haa­land’s salary at Man City has been the sub­ject of much spec­u­la­tion, but accord­ing to the Dai­ly Mail, the strik­er not only earns a base salary like oth­er Pep Guardi­o­la play­ers, but more.

It seems that he has become the high­est paid play­er in the coun­try by a con­sid­er­able margin.

The Nor­we­gian strik­er earned a total of £45m in his first sea­son at the Eti­had, which trans­lates to a stag­ger­ing £865,000 a week. While Haa­land has had a sen­sa­tion­al run at City so far and many jus­ti­fy the expense, the total cost is exorbitant.

Cris­tiano Ronal­do returned to Man­ches­ter Unit­ed from Juven­tus last year and is report­ed­ly the high­est-paid play­er in the Pre­mier League after being away from Old Traf­ford for 12 years.

The Por­tuguese super­star is paid £25.5m a year, well below Haa­land’s cur­rent salary.

Kylian Mbappe is now con­sid­ered the high­est paid play­er in the world.

Accord­ing to fig­ures com­piled by Mar­ca, the French­man earns €50 mil­lion a year, plus €180 mil­lion from his stay at the Parc des Princes, and now con­trols 100 per­cent of his image rights. ing.

Lionel Mes­si’s last few sea­sons at Barcelona earned him an annu­al salary of €75 mil­lion, so the deal is not the high­est ever.

PSG had to accept a sig­nif­i­cant €30m salary cut this year, but will rise to €40m in the final year of his con­tract in Paris. Mes­si is said to have received more than €1 bil­lion over his career.
