Erling Haaland has returned Norway to the top flight of the UEFA Nations League after leading his team in a 5-0 win over Kazakhstan. The Manchester City striker has scored three of those goals. Sorloth, Atlético de Madrid forward, and Nusa have also scored. However, the Norwegian is the protagonist this weekend due to the information from England on Daily Mirror about his future at Manchester City.
The British portal reports that the ‘Citizen’ team is going to offer 600,000 euros a week to the Norwegian striker. Therefore, doing the calculations, he would earn more than 30 million euros a year and would automatically become the highest-paid footballer in the entire Premier League, thus surpassing the records of Kevin de Bruyne who currently leads that table. If he accepts the offer from the English team, he would sign a contract until the 2028-2019 season, extending his current relationship by two years.

He Daily Mirror explains that Haaland would have accepted this proposal, but yes, it would have added a very important nuance that would modify the interests of Manchester City. Erling’s current clause is 180 million euros and the English club wants to erase it. However, the Norwegian’s agents, as well as the player himself, have decided that this should be maintained in the event that the forward wants to leave England in the future. From the British country it is reported that Manchester would be willing to make a counteroffer: increase that clause to 240 million euros.
Furthermore, the ‘Citizen’ club is immersed in closing the future of its bench. Pep Guardiola ends his current contract at the end of the season and it is not yet known what he will do. He was linked with the England bench, but Thomas Tuchel will take charge of the ‘Three Lions’. Now, his future seems closer in Manchester, but it is still up in the air.
