Manchester City Norwegian bolt of lighting Erling Haaland maintains grip on City’s money bag, earning a weekly pay packet of roughly 525,000.
That amounts to an eye-watering 27.3m per year before including lucrative bonuses, goal incentives and image rights built into the Norwegian’s unique contract.
Haaland sealed the long-term deal when agreeing an extension that keeps him at the club through to 2034, ensuring his place as the most ruthless centre forward in world football remains undisputed as the kind of deal that makes him the centre of Pep Guardiola’s attacking unit for years to come.
Underneath Haaland’s record-breaking deal, City’s wage structure exposes the colossal financial strength it takes to compete with the continent’s top clubs.
Next in line behind the Norwegian is the Portuguese wizard, Bernardo Silva, on an estimated 300,000 a week, followed closely by Omar Marmoush who moved to Abu Dhabi in 2025 on a salary of just under 295,000 a week.
Even the club’s defenders are well-remunerated, with goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma earning the same as duo Ruben Dias and John Stones, who are both said to be on just over 250,000. Midfield control towers Phil Foden and Ballon d’Or candidate Rodri round out the higher salaries, earning an estimated 225,000 and 220,000 a week respectively.
This meaty payroll continues to demonstrate the enormous economic league behind Manchester City’s implausible domestic and international fiefdom.
In fact, employing a annual fixed wage bill worth hundreds of millions of pounds enables the club to keep its foot on the pedal with world class cover for every single one of the 11 starting positions and substitutes on the bench.
However, while earnings across it immediately before specialist financial data houses could and do differ based on various active milestone triggers; the internal wage hierarchy is still very clear.
Earling Haaland’s one-of-a-kind pay deal doesn’t just mirror his insane rate of scoring goals, it seems to be a move by Manchester City to keep the world’s best goal scorer close to the Etihad Stadium.
