“Man City Ready to Present Erling Haaland with Unprecedented Mega-Contract, Breaking Premier League Records”

“Man City Poised to Offer Erling Haaland a Groundbreaking Mega-Deal, a First in Premier League History”

Manchester City is prepared to offer Erling Haaland a record-breaking ‘mega’ deal that would make him the highest-paid player in Premier League history.

The 24-year-old striker, who has scored 105 goals in 114 appearances for City, including 16 this season, is in negotiations for a new contract worth £500,000 per week. According to The Mirror, this would far surpass the Premier League’s second-highest earner, Kevin De Bruyne, who currently earns £400,000 weekly.

While Haaland has yet to finalize the deal, an ongoing issue regarding his £150 million release clause remains a hurdle, though recent talks have been positive.

Manchester City is hopeful that Pep Guardiola’s recent decision to extend his contract by one year will help seal Haaland’s lucrative new deal. According to The Sun, this contract extension could keep Haaland at City for an additional four to five years, potentially earning him up to £100 million without bonuses.

Before Guardiola signed his extension, Haaland expressed his hope that the manager would stay longer, saying: “I hope Pep signs a new contract. He has been important for me in the first two-and-a-half years. I like Pep a lot and hope he likes me, too.”

Meanwhile, Real Madrid has reportedly shown interest in Haaland, with rumors suggesting they might offer €200 million (£166 million) to lure him away from Manchester City. Spanish outlet Fichajes claims that if Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior leave the club, Haaland is seen as the primary target. Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is believed to have prepared a plan, with Haaland being the ‘chosen one.’ The report adds that the opportunity to join a club with such rich history and ambition is tempting for any player.
