Manchester City management is ready to seriously increase the salary of their top goalscorer Erling Haaland.
The Citizens plan to offer the Norwegian a salary of £600,000-a-week if he agrees to extend his contract beyond 2027. The goal is to tie the striker even longer and make him a franchise player for the club like Sergio Aguero.
Haaland could thus receive up to a 60.5% pay rise compared to last season, in which he scored 52 goals in all competitions.

At the moment, the Norwegian striker leads Premier League goalscorer’s table with 6 goals after 4 matches in the Premier League. According to some sources, Haaland is in Real Madrid’s transfer list, but only if the Spanish side couldn’t land Kylian Mbappe next summer.
