Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is renowned as one of the best players in the world, and he is known for being a prolific goal scorer for the reigning Premier League and Champions League winners.
The Norwegian footballer began his youth career primarily in his hometown club Bryne, joining the academy in 2005.
Following short spells with Molde in Norway and the Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg, Haaland made a significant move to Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund in 2019, where he ascended to become one of the most outstanding young talents in world football.
Premier League giants Manchester City signed Haaland during the summer of 2022 for a transfer fee of £51 million ($64 million*). He quickly made an impact under manager Pep Guardiola, breaking the Premier League record for most goals scored in a single season with 36 and leading the club to the continental treble.

Erling Haaland Contract: £97.5 million ($123.4 million*)
Upon his transfer to Manchester City, Haaland signed a five-year contract valued at £97.5 million ($123.4 million*), spanning from the 2022-23 season up to the 2026-27 season, according to Spotrac.
Erling Haaland Career Earnings
Given the absence of reliable information on Erling Haaland's salary before his move to Borussia Dortmund in 2019, this article will focus exclusively on his earnings from 2019 onwards.
By the conclusion of the 2022-23 season, Haaland had accumulated a total gross base salary of £39.9 million ($50.5 million*) throughout his tenures with Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City, as reported by Capology.
It's important to note that this figure solely reflects his base earnings from both clubs and excludes additional income from bonuses, incentives, and off-field endeavors such as endorsements and sponsorships. Furthermore, it does not factor in deductions for taxes, agent fees, and other business-related expenses.
Looking ahead to the next four seasons of his career, spanning from the ongoing 2023-24 season to the conclusion of his current contract in the 2026-27 season, Haaland is expected to accrue gross earnings amounting to £78 million ($98.7 million*).
Erling Haaland Salary 2023-24
According to his current contract terms with Manchester City, Haaland is slated to receive a base weekly salary of £375,000 ($475,000*), translating to an annual salary of approximately £19.5 million ($24.7 million*) from the 2022-23 season through the 2026-27 season, as reported by The Sun.
In terms of base salary, he is only the second-highest-paid player in the City squad behind midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, who earns £400,000 weekly.
However, the Norwegian striker's contract includes ridiculous bonuses and incentives, presumably tied to goals, significantly increasing his weekly earnings to £865,000 ($1.06 million*) or £45 million ($57 million*) per year, making him the highest-paid player in the Premier League, per Mirror.
In his previous agreement with Borussia Dortmund, Haaland earned a weekly wage of £131,014 ($166,000*), amounting to £6.8 million ($8.6 million*) annually from the 2019-20 season to the 2021-22 season. This was considered a reasonable compensation for one of the best young players in the world during that period.
