Football has become one of the fastest-growing commercial businesses ever. From rouge leagues to playing with millions of clubs, players have done it all.
The latest splashing of money comes from Manchester City themselves. In short, they have given a long-term commitment to Erling Haaland, who will see himself at the club until 2034.
Yes a 9-and-a-half-year deal, this seems insane coming from a club
This means Manchester City has the utmost faith in this player and wants to commit to the player for a very long time.
Given that we were hearing actual rumours about his departure from the club this summer given the form Manchester City has been in recently.
Manchester City winning the title in 2025 might not be something that we will see, Liverpool has been a far better and more consistent team in the Premier League. All this struggle might have pushed Haaland out of the club but with a contract like this City has made sure that they grab hold of their superstar for the foreseeable future.
Is Haaland signing this long contract good for Manchester City?
Of Course, for now, this is a win-win situation for the club as they have their main number 9 position sorted for a very long time.
We know who will be wearing that number 9 shirt.
This means clubs can invest in other aspects of areas where the focus is needed without worrying about their main man.
But you never know in football, what might be in store for later, As commitment this long also means that if the player fails to deliver the expected output he can soon become a liability for the club which is very common in modern clubs because of the frequent injuries they face during their career.
Does this make Haaland the highest-paid player?
Yes, this new deal received by Haaland makes him the highest-paid player in the world, An estimated he will be earning around £800000 per week, and with all the sponsorship deals and image right it is estimated that he might even surpass Cristiano Ronaldo.
Given his age this is quite a remarkable feat given he is in his early 20s he has enough football left in him and can be crucial to Manchester City’s success in the future.
