ERLING HAALAND just got so much richer.
The Norwegian ace, 24, has signed a new 10-year contract with Man City that will earn him £260million.
Amazingly, the figures work out to £500,000 a week, or £26 million a year.
Haaland has already amassed a fortune of over £60 million.
It has allowed him to live a life of luxury, from spending £6 million on a holiday home in Marbella to driving a £300,000 Rolls-Royce Cullinan.
And the striker has fortunately settled with girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen.
The lovebirds became parents for the first time in December.
SunSport takes a look at Haaland's epic lifestyle, which can only get better.
Property
This month, Haaland put down roots in Britain.
After initially renting a luxury city center apartment, he spent the money on a new country house in Cheshire – close to team-mate Jack Grealish.
The six-bedroom property was purchased with peace and quiet in mind.
A source told The Sun: “Erling lived in the city center for a few years and loved it, but he was keen to get his own place and put down some roots.
“He wants a quiet place where he can relax off the pitch and enjoy a quieter time because he is very recognisable, so going out in Manchester became difficult for him.
“Jack moved a year ago and Erling is a frequent visitor.
“He loves the area, so he started looking and found the perfect spot.
“The bonus is that it's close to Jack, so they can still spend time together off the field.”
Abroad, Haaland has a building on Marbella's 'Golden Mile'.
The £6 million villa has several spacious bedrooms, large living rooms, a swimming pool, sauna and large garage.
The Haaland family is said to have invested in the area – while father Alf Inge also had a holiday home there.
As well as places in Britain and Spain, Erling is also said to own a £2.6 million apartment in Oslo, adjacent to the 5-star Sommerro Hotel.
Car collection
Before signing a new contract with the club, City paid Haaland around £375,000 per week.
This allowed him to build a mega car collection.
A Rolls-Royce Cullinan is the most opulent he owns and costs £300,000.
He has also been seen behind the wheel of a Range Rover Sport and an Audi RS6 Avant, both priced at £120,000.
His cheapest ride is a £90,000 Mercedes-AMG GLE Coupé.
During a pre-season trip to Monaco, he was spotted driving around in a stunning Ferrari Monza worth £1.3 million.
Romantic life
Haaland's girlfriend is an old friend, Isabel Haugseng Johansen.
They met when they were children, sharing a mutual interest in the beautiful game and playing for Byrne.
Like Haaland, she too was an aspiring soccer player in her youth who dreamed of becoming a professional.
In a rare interview, she recalled: “We were just kids, kicking a ball without a care in the world.”
They quickly became good friends.
She continued: “We were inseparable on the pitch.
“We didn't know it at the time, but those moments were the foundation of something much bigger.”
The two reportedly started dating when Haaland's career took off at RB Salzburg.
She has since followed him to Dortmund and Manchester as his career progressed.
They have remained fiercely quiet about their romance, although he hinted in October that he was about to become a father.
After scoring a brace for Norway, he tucked the ball under his shirt.
Last month it was manager Pep Guardiola who revealed that Erling had welcomed a child.
After scoring, after a run of five games without a goal, Pep said in his interview: “Sometimes Erling is judged badly, but it's part of football.
“He is tired, he has played a lot of minutes.
“He has become a father for the first time in recent days, a lot of emotions and a few exciting days for him.”
Diet
Built like a brick wall and as tall as one, Haaland nourishes his body like a caveman.
He has a unique diet, unlike any footballer we've ever seen, and looks more like the serial killer from Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal Lecter.
Haaland shared what he puts into his body in a Norwegian documentary series.
He shows off huge pieces of heart and liver from his butcher and says:
“You (other people) don't eat this, but I'm concerned about taking care of my body.
“I think eating quality food that is as local as possible is the most important thing.
“People say meat is bad for you, but what? The meat you get at McDonald's?
'Or the local cow that eats grass there? I eat the heart and the liver.”
Heart and liver are superfoods rich in vitamin B, iron, phosphorus and copper and magnesium.
In Haaland: The Big Decision, filmed ahead of his move from Borussia Dortmund to City, the £375,000-a-week star adds: “The first thing I do in the morning is get some sunlight in my eyes – it's good for the biological clock. rhythm.
“I've also started filtering my water a bit. I think it can have great benefits for my body.”
Technology
Self-preservation, in addition to his 6,000 calorie per day diet, keeps Haaland at the top.
He is a fan of ice baths and even has a £50,000 cryotherapy chamber in his Cheshire country house.
And he is also a fan of red light therapy beds which cost around £15,000.
The therapy uses infrared rays to penetrate deep into tissues and joints.
Experts recommend a five-minute session before training to help prevent injuries, and another session of up to 20 minutes afterwards to aid muscle recovery.
Despite liking red, blue is clearly still his color, thanks to that long-term deal.
