Haaland, 24, has been sensational since his arrival in Manchester in 2022, scoring 105 goals in 114 games since signing from Borussia Dortmund.

And despite already being the league’s second highest-paid player, earning £375,000-per-week, City have reportedly laid a record-breaking new offer on the table that will make him the Prem’s top earner.

According to The Mirror, the four-in-a-row champions have offered Haaland a staggering £500,000-per-week contract that will see him stay at the Etihad until the end of the 2028/29 season.

That HALF A MILLION pound a week contract would see him pull away from teammate Kevin De Bruyne, who is currently the Prem’s best paid player with his £400,000-per-week deal.

Unsurprisingly, City are said to have received a “positive response” to the lucrative offer from Haaland and his camp after negotiations in Norway alongside the bagman’s family and Brazilian super-agent Rafaela Pimenta.

Man City are reportedly “increasingly confident” that the Norwegian international will put pen to paper on the proposed two-year extension.

However, it’s claimed there is still a stumbling block that could de-rail the deal.

Haaland’s camp are understood to be steadfast in keeping the striker’s £150million release clause in place, but City execs want it dropped.

The Mirror’s report says that both parties could agree on increasing the release clause to £200m to get a deal over the line.

Should Haaland sign the deal he will be one of the best-paid players in all of Europe and the standout earner in the Premier League.

The former RB Salzburg forward will be making over £150,000 more per week than the Prem’s third and fourth highest earners – Mohamed Salah and Casemiro.

He would earn some £175,000 more every week than Raheem Sterling, who’s £325,000-a-week wage – which is split between Arsenal and Chelsea – makes him the Prem’s fifth top earner.

Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford, Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish are also part of the league’s top 10 highest-paid players and would still see their £300,000-per-week wages pale in comparison to Haaland’s.

While the Prem’s 10th best-paid star, Kai Havertz, would be earning almost HALF of Haaland’s salary, despite making some £280,000 every week.
