Haaland is here to stay! City striker Erling close to mammoth new deal that will see him replace Kevin De Bruyne as club's highest-paid player

Currently, the Belgian midfielder is City's best-paid player, reportedly taking home £425,000 a week. In comparison, Haaland's basic salary stands at £375,000 per week, which already places him among the club's top earners. However, the structure of the forward's contract includes a series of performance-related bonuses, which could potentially elevate his weekly earnings beyond £850,000. Nonetheless, the new deal could see him earn €24 million (£20.5m/$27m) net per season, according to a report by<a href="https://www.marca.com/futbol/futbol-internacional/2024/09/07/66db20b3e2704e6e398b45a2.html" target="_blank"> Marca.</a>

WHAT HAPPENED?

Rumours have linked Haaland with a move to Real Madrid in the past, but Los Blancos' summer acquisition of Kylian Mbappe impacts that. While a Mbappe and Haaland strike partnership would prove highly entertaining, Haaland might have the Premier League's top goalscorer record in his sights if he does pen a new deal with City.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

City manager Pep Guardiola has been a vocal advocate for Haaland since his arrival at the club. Whenever questioned about the Norwegian’s place in his tactical system, Guardiola has consistently praised the forward's abilities and reinforced his importance to the team. And this new deal could act as a significant gesture from the club, signalling their reliance on Haaland for long-term success, regardless of whether Guardiola remains at the helm following the expiry of his contract in 2025.

DID YOU KNOW?

Since joining City, Haaland has enjoyed extraordinary success. In just over two seasons, the 24-year-old has scored 97 goals in 102 appearances, becoming one of the most prolific forwards in European football. In the process, he has inspired the club to a historic treble in the first season and another Premier League crown in the next. Following his international commitments with Norway he would return to the Etihad to face Brentford on September 14.
