Erling Haaland’s staggering new Man City contract laid bare with striker to earn nearly £3,000 PER HOUR
ERLING HAALAND’S new Manchester City contract is worth a staggering £260million.
The striker has put pen to paper on a TEN YEAR contract at the Etihad.
Haaland has seen his previous £375,000 a week salary upped to £500k.
And City chiefs have agreed to backdate the deal to the start of this season, meaning he will collect an extra £3.25m that he is now owed since then.
The 23-year-old’s contract is worth £26m per season.
This works out at an incredible £2,166,666 a month.
Haaland will earn around £71k per day as part of the new deal, and nearly £3k an hour.
Per second he will earn 82p for the duration of the deal.
The prolific forward had been sporadically linked with Real Madrid.
But having become a father, Haaland bought a six-bed mansion with girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen, 21 after the couple decided to “put down some roots”.
Pep Guardiola‘s decision to renew his deal by a further two seasons is said to have also helped Haaland make up his mind to extend his stay.
Upon putting pen to paper, he said: “I am really happy to have signed my new contract and to be able to look forward to spending even more time at this great club.
“Manchester City is a special club, full of fantastic people with amazing supporters and it’s the type of environment that helps bring the best out of everybody.
“I also want to thank Pep, his coaching staff, my team-mates and everyone at the Club as they have all helped me so much in the past couple of years. They have made this such a special place to be and now I am City no matter what.
“Now I want to keep developing, keep working to get better and look to do my best to try and help us achieve more success going forward.”
Haaland has now leapfrogged £400k a week team-mate Kevin De Bruyne as the highest-paid player in the Premier League.
He has twice won the Premier League Golden Boot, and has scored a staggering 111 goals in 126 City appearances since joining from Borussia Dortmund.
