Worried about Real Madrid’s growing interest in Erling Haaland, Manchester City are working on a new gold deal for their striker. With a record at the key.
It’s no secret that since moving to the Emirati flag in 2008, Manchester City can spend (almost) without counting. The English club could well prove it once again since it is considering increasing Erling Haaland’s salary very significantly. Recruited last summer, the Norwegian player is currently meeting all the expectations placed on him. His monstrous performances, however, further whetted the appetites of other teams wishing to attract him. What push City to react.
Erling Haaland currently earns a weekly salary valued at £375,000 (about 425,000 euros) and according to The Sun, Manchester is working on a serious increase that would allow the striker to collect £500,000 (around 567,000 euros) per week. Unheard of in the Premier League and a record in sight for the Norwegian. The media adds that this proposal could be made to him at the end of the season.
Waiting for 2024
Manchester City would add an additional year of commitment in the contract of Haaland which is currently linked to the club until June 2027. The Mancunian recruiters hope in parallel to recruit Jude Bellingham to associate him with his former partner of Borussia Dortmund. As for Real Madrid, it remains focused on 2024 since according to the contract signed between Haaland and the Skyblues, it is from this moment that the interested clubs will be able to come forward and possibly pay the release clause of the player, fixed at 200 million euros.
