Manchester City has secured Erling Haaland with one of the most lucrative contracts in the world of soccer.
The Norwegian forward, who has been with the club since the summer of 2022, has just been given a staggering 9.5-year deal, reflecting his immense impact at the club.

To highlight the reasons behind this major investment, let’s break down some impressive statistics from Haaland’s time at Manchester City:

He has scored a remarkable 111 goals in 125 matches across all competitions for the team.
Additionally, his striking proficiency is evident as he averages only 91 minutes per goal in the Premier League, according to data from Opta.
In his debut Premier League season, he netted an astonishing 36 goals, setting a new record for the most goals in a single season in the league’s history.

Haaland has also showcased his ability to deliver in crucial moments, recording 11 hat tricks during his tenure with City.
Moreover, he has already contributed to the club’s trophy cabinet, helping them secure six titles in just two seasons, including two Premier League championships, an FA Cup, a Champions League trophy, a UEFA Super Cup, and a Community Shield.

One of his standout performances came in a Champions League match against Leipzig in March 2023, where he scored five goals. This feat placed him alongside soccer legends Lionel Messi and Luiz Adriano, who are the only other players to have scored five in one Champions League game.

On the financial side, Haaland’s reported weekly wage stands at a striking $600,000.
This contract not only reflects his exceptional talent but also the club’s ambition to remain at the forefront of world soccer.
