Manchester City are reportedly planning a new mega offer for Erling Haaland amidst interest from Real Madrid, MySportDab reports.
The club executives are set to splash a new wage offer for the Norwegian amid interest from Laliga and European champions, Real Madrid.
Erling Haaland has been a revelation at Manchester City scoring for fun to keep Manchester City in three competitions – Premier League, Champions League, and the FA Cup.
The Norwegian goal poacher has netted 42 times already with many matches remaining before the end of the season.
Real Madrid are reportedly interested in the player and are set to activate his release clause in 2024.
Now, according to the Sun, Real Madrid are reportedly keen on making sure they tied down Erling Haaland to Manchester City amid interest from the LaLiga giants.
The report says club executives are ready to meet and increase the weekly wage earning of the Norwegian to a whooping £500,000 a week.
This will make Haaland one of the highest-paid Premier League players.
His current weekly wage at Etihad is £375,000 bringing him at par with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and Manchester United’s David De Gea, who are currently the highest-paid Premier League players.
An increase in Erling Haaland’s wage to £500,000 a week could see him become the highest-paid Premier League player.
His contract at Etihad expires in 2027, and the club is also ready to extend it by a year to keep the Norwegian at the club.
The attempt by City to make Erling Haaland is the highest-earning player is a clear message to potential suitors like Real Madrid to hand off their attempt to activate the player’s release clause in 2024 and sign him.
