Although the transfer market has barely opened, it’s possible the biggest move of the summer has already been made. By rallying Manchester City, Erling Haaland joins one of the most dominant teams of recent years. If the 60 million euros spent by City seems little, given the caliber of the Norwegian and the current market, it is because the player had an exit clause with BVB. A proof if not that the operation is of scale, the contract negotiated for the Norwegian, et salary from which he will benefit, in return for his services on the green rectangle.
Erling Haaland’s salary is the 2nd highest in the Premier League
For his first steps in the English championship, the 21-year-old serial scorer will receive nearly 400,000 pounds per week. Translated to the euro of the moment, this is worth a full season at nearly 23 million gross fixed part. And more bonuses. It will make Erling Haaland the highest-paid player in his side, along with midfielder Kevin de Bruyne, and he and the Belgian are second, Premier League-wide, behind Cristiano Ronaldo at nearly 31. 1 million euros gross annually, with Manchester United.
