The contract extension valid until 2034 that Man City just signed with Erling Haaland has turned the Norwegian striker into the highest-paid football player on the planet.
The Daily Mail (UK) once revealed that when Erling Haaland joined Man City from Dortmund in 2022, he immediately had a weekly income from salary and bonuses of up to nearly 865,000 pounds. The newspaper also affirmed that this was an income level that only the most elite class in Europe had at that time.
Erling Haaland signs 9-year contract extension with Man City
The new contract will last for nearly a decade, although it does not include a release clause, but the additional guaranteed income such as loyalty bonuses or image rights will certainly make Haaland the highest-earning player in the foggy country, even the world .
If Haaland completes his deal with the Etihad Stadium, he will continue to earn immeasurable amounts of money between the ages of 29 and 34.
The contract is valid until 2034.
Man City beat many European giants to sign Haaland in July 2022 for just £51 million. In more than two seasons with "The Citizens", Haaland has scored 111 goals in 126 matches and his scoring ability is considered "extraordinary" due to countless records created on all fronts.
Haaland is Man City's most important striker
Erling Haaland said he is really happy with the new contract and hopes to stay long-term at Man City, the best team in his eyes: "Man City is a special club, there are so many great people with great fans and it's an environment that brings out the best in everyone.
I would like to thank Pep, the coaching staff, my team-mates and everyone at the club for their help over the years."
Three new recruits are about to officially debut at Etihad Stadium
Not only did Man City successfully "tie down" one of the team's most important players, they also completed three deals in the 2025 winter transfer window. This dynamism is almost inevitable as Man City's performance has declined on many fronts recently due to many changes in their squad.
The first leg of the Premier League was a "disastrous" period for Man City, in which they only won 1 and lost 9 in the period from late October to December 2024.
Coach Pep Guardiola's team is currently ranked 6th in the Premier League, 22nd in the Champions League and has been eliminated from the League Cup.
Egyptian striker Omar Marmoush
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Man City are preparing to complete up to three new contracts, including 20-year-old centre-back Abdukodir Khusanov from Lens; 19-year-old centre-back Vitor Reis from Palmeiras and Egyptian striker Omar Marmoush from Frankfurt.
The fee for Uzbek international Abdukodir Khusanov is around £33.7m; Vitor Reis is worth around £30m and Omar Marmoush will cost City around £59m.
The Egyptian striker is currently second in the Bundesliga's top scorer list this season with 15 goals in 17 matches (20 goals in 26 matches in all competitions).
Captain Kyle Walker could leave in January with AC Milan as his destination.
If everything goes smoothly, Man City could announce three new players in the next few days. This "huge" reinforcement will certainly turn the situation around for Man City in the acceleration phase of the season.
Man City are continuing to strengthen their midfield. They are approaching Juventus to discuss recruiting defender Andrea Cambiaso.
