EPL: Haaland confirmed as highest-paid player with £865,000-per-week Man City deal

Manchester City striker, Erling Haaland, ends almost £900,000 per week at the Etihad.

The Norway international arrived from Borussia Dortmund in a £51million deal this summer.

But the real cost of the deal was significantly higher due to agent fees and subsequent signing-on arrangements.

According to the Daily Mail, Haaland makes substantially more in add-ons that makes him the highest-paid player.

Haaland is set to earn a total of £45m in his first season with City, which breaks down into a staggering £865,000 per week.

Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo became the highest-paid player in the Premier League following his return to Old Trafford.

But the Portuguese superstar earns £25.5m per year, which is substantially less than Haaland’s current wage.
