Yesterday, Manchester City announced the renewal of their contract with Erling Haaland, signing a new deal that lasts for 9 and a half years, ending only in 2034. Today, The Daily Mail has revealed details of Haaland's new contract.
In the summer of 2022, Haaland joined Manchester City. Over the past two and a half seasons, he has consistently been a top striker and a nightmare for Premier League defenders. To date, Haaland has made 126 appearances for City, scoring 111 goals, helping the team win two Premier League titles and one Champions League trophy.
Despite a slight dip in form this season, Haaland's abilities are unquestionable. On Transfermarkt, his market value remains at 200 million euros, making him the most valuable player in football. It's worth noting that Haaland is currently only 24 years old, with significant room for further improvement.
To keep Haaland, Manchester City has shown great sincerity. According to The Daily Mail, Haaland's income at City has always been high. Before the renewal, his weekly salary and bonus totalled an impressive 860,000 pounds. After the renewal, Haaland's weekly salary has increased, approaching 1 million pounds per week, though it does not exceed 1 million pounds.
What does 1 million pounds mean? It equates to 8.91 million Chinese yuan. Averaged out daily, that's 1.27 million yuan. In other words, Haaland can easily earn 1.27 million yuan just by opening his eyes each day.
Manchester City has offered a contract full of sincerity, and Haaland has also shown enough sincerity to the club. The Mail reports that Haaland did not include a release clause in his contract, meaning that as long as City does not let him go, no other team can forcibly take him away, no matter how much money they offer. Previously, Real Madrid had been linked with Haaland, but now they can completely give up on that idea.
Haaland is currently 24 years old, and when this new contract expires, the Norwegian striker will be close to 34 years old, past his prime. Essentially, he will have dedicated the peak of his entire career to Manchester City. After completing the renewal yesterday, Haaland stressed, "I owe everything to City. I will do my best to perform at my highest level and make City an even better team."
