Manchester City are determined to secure the future of Norwegian striker Erling Haaland despite interest from top clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid. The club are reportedly considering offering Haaland a new contract that would extend his stay until 2029.

According to The Mirror, the “Citizens” are confident of reaching an agreement with the 24-year-old and plan to make him the highest-paid player in the Premier League.

Reports suggest that the proposed deal would see Haaland earning £500,000 per week, surpassing teammate Kevin De Bruyne’s weekly wage of £400,000.

Negotiations have already begun with Haaland’s family and his agent, Brazilian Rafaela Pimenta. Manchester City have reportedly taken significant steps toward finalising a renewal by proposing a two-year extension to his current contract.

How much does Haaland earn, and when does his contract expire?

According to Spotrac, Haaland’s current contract includes an annual salary of £19.5 million, which equates to £375,000 per week. His existing deal keeps him at Manchester City until 2027, at which point he would become a free agent.

The proposed extension would see his weekly earnings increase by £125,000 and secure his place at the club until at least his 29th birthday.
