Manchester City striker Erling Haaland signed an astonishing nine-and-half-year with the club last week, keeping him with the champions until 2034.
The Norwegian showed his to City in an extraordinary way and with it comes a major financial incentive that makes him by far the best paid player in the Premier League.
What is Haaland’s new salary?
(function (v, d, o, ai) { ai = d.createElement(‘script’); ai.defer = true; ai.async = true; ai.src = v.location.protocol + o; d.head.appendChild(ai); })(window, document, ‘//a.vdo.ai/core/v-pulsesports-co-ke-v0/vdo.ai.js’);
Erling Haaland was reportedly $515,000 (Ksh66.4 million) per week before his new contract but he will now be pocketing $650,000 (Ksh84 million) per week.
What will he earn in a year?
His weekly salary amounts to over $33.5 (Ksh4.3 billion) million per year, meaning in the course of his stay at the Etihad Stadium, he would have made over $337 (Ksh43.4 billion) million from salaries alone.
And what is he making per hour?
To show how staggering it is, Haaland will be making $4,000 (Ksh515,800) per hour, an eye-watering sum that many dream of earning in a month.
In fact, a Kenyan Member of Parliament currently earns a of Ksh426,000 before house allowance (Ksh150,000) and market adjustment (Ksh134,000) which takes their pay to Ksh710,000.
It means the Man City striker pockets more in an hour than what the much-maligned Kenyan politicians make in a month despite being among the highest paid legislators in the world.
Erling Haaland’s stats
It is not hard to understand why City decided to offer Erling Haaland such a huge deal as he is so crucial to their ambitions while he is one of the most players.
That new deal will wade off suitors for a striker who 36 Premier League goals in 35 matches in his first season at the club before adding 27 in 31 last term and he is in contention for the Golden Boot again this season, having netted 17, one behind Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
