Pep Guardiola’s Man City proposed a new contract Erling Haaland with the highest salary in the Premier League, in order not to give Real Madrid the opportunity to tempt.
The Sun announced that the Premier League champions are preparing a huge salary increase for Haaland in a new contract with the desire to keep the Norwegian striker at the Etihad until the summer of 2028.
Specifically, Man City is willing to increase Haaland’s salary by 50%, from the current level of 375,000 pounds/week to more than 550,000 pounds/week, the highest in the Premier League.
The 23-year-old goalscorer just arrived at Man City last summer, with a 5-year contract, which means there are still 4 years left. However, Pep Guardiola still wants the club’s big bosses to find a way to ‘tie’ Haaland more tightly (until 2028) with a new agreement with an attractive salary, to avoid being lured by other formidable opponents.
Real Madrid, the team that also really wanted Haaland before he chose Man City, is expected to find a way to bring him to Bernabeu one day in the near future, amidst information that the Norwegian striker has a clause to break his contract with Man City in effect. next year (although Pep denies having one).
However, not only Real Madrid but also many other teams are interested in Haaland, because of this striker’s great form.
Right in the first year of playing for Man City, Haaland scored 52 goals in 53 games, especially helping Pep Guardiola “change his luck”, successfully conquer the C1 Cup, win a wonderful treble (besides the Premier League and FA Cup). ). He acquired a series of individual titles such as the Best Player in the Premier League, the Best Player of the PFA, UEFA, etc.
In the new season, which is taking place in the first rounds of the Premier League, Haaland also has 6 goals in 4 matches, including a hat-trick against Fulham in Man City’s 5-1 victory on September 2.
That hat-trick also marked Haaland’s direct connection to the 50-goal mark – here he hit 51 (42 goals and 9 assists) in the Premier League in the fastest time in league history, after just 39 games.
