Haaland earns roughly £500k per week from Man City, before bonuses are even considered. He will get at least £260M if that 9.5 year contract is completed. Which other European Club can afford to pay Haaland's salary that also matches his sporting ambition? Real Madrid only sign top players as free agent and PSG no longer sign superstars.
Haaland used to have a £175M release clause to be triggered in 2024, but didnt took advantage of it. Like I previously said, Haaland has now become a father and likely wants to settle down in Manchester with his family and allow his newborn child to grow up there instead of traveling around. Not to mention Manchester will still be a top club challenging for trophies after Pep's departure.
