Prolific scorer for the best team in England and Europe, Erling Haaland has little reason to leave Manchester City anytime soon. It could therefore soon be extended.
When signing for Manchester City in 2022, as part of a transfer of only 60 million euros (the amount of his departure clause at that time at Borussia Dortmund), Erling Haaland had negotiated exit doors . The Norwegian striker, for example, has a departure clause set at 200 million euros this summer and another set at 175 million for 2025 (this is only valid for non-English clubs).
If Haaland, 23, also dreams of one day playing for Real Madrid, this is not news. Especially since Casa Blanca opens a new chapter with the arrival of Kylian Mbappé. The Leeds native quickly became the unstoppable scorer in Pep Guardiola’s squad and intends to remain so. He scored 52 goals in all competitions in his first season (2023-2024) to win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League. An exceptional hat-trick.
Salary increase in sight!
The Mancunian club is reportedly preparing a new contract to offer Haaland, as indicated by Spanish journalist Lu Martin. Haaland is already the highest paid player in the Cityzens squad (just ahead of Kevin de Bruyne), with a salary of almost 23 million euros per year. He could pocket a few million more and Man City could above all readjust the departure clause, setting it between 200 and 250 million euros without reduction each year. Pretty fair.
Victim of a stress fracture in one foot at the beginning of December, Haaland returned to competition with full throttle. He has a remarkable total of 16 goals scored in 19 Premier League matches, 5 goals in 6 Champions League matches and 4 goals in domestic cups. And he intends to shake the nets, this time, during the decisive matches at the end of the Man City season.
