Norwegian Phenomenon: Money Scores Goals: Haaland numbers make you dizzy

250 million euros! For Erling Haaland (22), Bayern Munich would have broken all its internal limits and put together a huge total package: with transfer fee, money and salary for five years, the Norwegian would have cost the champion of the Bundesliga series a quarter of a billion.

But just. Had. The offer from Munich was by no means the best. The crème de la crème lined up last summer to secure the services of the Tormonster. The exit clause in the contract with Borussia Dortmund was 78 million. BVB itself also waved the millions to convince Haaland to stay. But the blond boy and his surroundings elicited only a tired smile with the annual salary of 20 million offered.

In the end, England Croesus Manchester City was awarded the contract. Logical: Best league in the world, richest club in the world, with Guardiola probably the best coach in the world. That is of course the best striker in the world. Although it had to be an annual salary of 51 (!) Million euros for Haaland to commit to the Citizens. In addition, the English media wrote at least: 40 million bonus money for adviser Rafaela Pimenta and 20 million for Papa Alf-Inge Haaland.

Others earn even more

Erling Haaland now earns the equivalent of 140,000 euros a day in England. Or just under a million a week. This makes him by far the highest-earning professional in the Premier League. In an international comparison, however, he “looks into the tube”: Cristiano Ronaldo receives 250 million per season in Saudi Arabia. Kylian Mbappé in Paris according to Forbes estimated 110 million.

And Mohamed Salah of Liverpool FC also precedes Haaland with 53 million. But he’s only 22 and will probably negotiate one or the other big raise in his career. A transfer to Real Madrid would be on paper for 2024.

Whatever the club, Haaland will continue to score goals in Nike boots until the end of his career: in March, months-long negotiations between the US sporting goods giant and Haaland’s management led to an agreement. 22 million per season until 2033. Bonuses not included.

The millions go into homes and luxury cars

What to do with all that money? Sure, some go into real estate. According to “AS”, Haaland bought a luxury villa in Marbella for 6.5 million. His family would also have secured an expensive place nearby. In Manchester, Haaland lives in the villa of former ManUnited star Paul Pogba, once the most expensive footballer in the world and managed by the same agency as Haaland. Rental costs for the beautiful building: 35,000 euros per month. There are several luxury cars in Haaland’s garage. He was recently spotted driving a Rolls Royce Cullinan in Manchester. Price without extras: 320,000 euros.

According to the Norwegian media, the Haalands have registered three investment companies in Luxembourg, father Alfie and Norwegian ex-professional Egil Östenstad each sit on their board of directors, and in the spring another company was registered in Great Britain, where father and son Haaland are listed as company directors.

The mega-investments for Haaland’s services have so far paid off: since he left his native Norway aged 18, he has made 167 appearances for Red Bull Salzburg, Borussia Dortmund and Manchester City – scoring exactly in each a goal.
