Multiple Premier League champions Manchester City made a big statement when they tied down their prolific striker Erling Haaland in January this year.

Manchester, who have enjoyed immense success since the appointment of former FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich head coach Pep Guardiola, gave Haaland a nine and half years contract.

This means the Norwegian goal poacher will stay at the Premier League club until June, 2034.

Although the Manchester City did not make public the official salary that Haaland will receive after penning the new deal, reliable reports indicate that he could be earning a weekly wage of £525,000 (Approximately Ksh 91,250, 775 as per the current exchange rate) making him the highest paid player in the rich history of the Premier League.

The other crucial detail about this mega contract is that it does not have a release clause, which shows Manchester City’s commitment to keep the player at the club for many years.  

When the current contract that Haaland has with Manchester City expires, he will be 34 years old, meaning he could still help the Citizens win numerous trophies.

The powerful striker, who can score with both his foot and head, has already done great things for the Premier League club, including helping them win the Premier League and UEFA Champions League trophies.
