Real Madrid should be worried about City’s mega plan for Haaland

Manchester City are considering extending Erling Haaland's contract until 2029, according to reports.

Manchester City are determined to secure the future of Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, despite interest from top clubs such as 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 a deal 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 earn £500,000 per week, which would surpass teammate Kevin De Bruyne's weekly wage of £400,000.

Negotiations have already begun with Haaland's family and his agent, Brazil's Rafaela Pimenta. Manchester City have reportedly taken significant steps towards finalizing an extension 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 contract keeps him at Manchester City until 2027, after which he would become a free agent.

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