The nine-and-a-half-year contract
Manchester City announced the extension on 17 January 2025. Its length is the story: nine and a half years, taking Haaland to 2034, when he will be 33.
Contracts of that length are almost unheard of in modern football. Clubs avoid them because they transfer all the risk — injury, decline, loss of form — onto the club. City accepted that deliberately, and got two things in return.
First, cost certainty. Locking the wage now means City are not renegotiating every two years against a rising market. If Haaland keeps scoring at his current rate, £525,000 a week will look cheap by 2030.
Second, and more importantly: the release clause is gone. Haaland’s previous deal contained a clause reported at around £175m that would have allowed a foreign club to trigger a move. The 2025 contract removed it entirely. Real Madrid and the Saudi Pro League now have no mechanism at all — any transfer requires City’s consent, at City’s price.
That clause removal is what City actually bought.
Why you will see $273 million quoted
Spotrac lists the deal as $273,000,000 over ten years, averaging $27.3m a year. That sits awkwardly beside the £27.3m annual figure, because £27.3m is roughly $34m.
The explanation is that the two figures come from different bases:
- £525,000 a week / £27.3m a year is the reported gross basic salary in sterling.
- $273m over the term is a dollar-converted total that appears to use a different exchange assumption and a ten-year rather than nine-and-a-half-year term.
Neither is wrong in its own frame. Both circulate. If you need one number, use the sterling weekly figure — it is the one closest to the source reporting.
Where the rest of the $80m comes from
Forbes splits his earnings roughly $60m on-pitch and $20m off-pitch. The on-pitch half is larger than his basic salary because of what sits on top:
- Goal and appearance bonuses. Haaland’s contracts have historically carried unusually rich per-goal terms, which for a striker of his output is a substantial addition.
- Team bonuses. Title, Champions League and cup incentives.
- Image rights. Structured separately, as is standard at that level.
With everything included, some estimates put his total weekly earnings as high as $1.1 million.
Off the pitch, the anchor deals are Nike and Breitling, alongside a portfolio his father and advisers have built with a preference for equity stakes over flat sponsorship fees.
How he sits in the City wage structure
£525,000 a week makes Haaland comfortably Manchester City’s highest earner, and one of the two or three highest in the Premier League. Our breakdown of Manchester City’s wage bill shows how far ahead of the rest of the squad that is.
For comparison across the league, Bukayo Saka leads Arsenal on £300,000 a week — a figure that would place him a long way below Haaland at the Etihad. The gap between the two is roughly the entire average Premier League wage, twice over. Our guide to what footballers actually get paid puts that in context.
Net worth versus earnings
$100m in net worth against $80m in annual earnings looks odd until you remember Haaland’s age.
He turned professional in 2016 and his first genuinely large contract began at Manchester City in 2022. That is four years of elite money, minus UK top-rate tax, minus agent fees — and his father and Rafaela Pimenta negotiated famously large commission arrangements into the original City deal.
Compare with Lionel Messi’s $850m–$950m, built over twenty years, or Kylian Mbappe’s ~$250m, built over eight. Haaland is earlier on the same curve and earning faster than either did at his age. If the 2034 contract runs its course, his career salary alone will exceed £250m.
