Erling Braut Haaland is winning everyone over with his goals, including his national team: but how much does the Manchester City champion earn?
How much does Erling Haaland earn? A more than fair question, given that the Norwegian striker, between his national team and Manchester City career, is breaking record after record with his goals and, right now, is probably the best center forward in the world.
Italy knows this well, having fallen prey to the terrible Norwegian generation on the arduous road to qualifying for the 2026 World Cup: first 3-0 on Viking soil in June 2025, where Haaland scored the hat-trick, and then a stunning 1-4 home win at San Siro in November, a match in which the number 9 scored a brace.
But how much does the Norwegian giant currently earn under Pep Guardiola? What is his market value?
Erling Haaland, a monster: club and country stats
Erling Haaland, born July 21, 2000, has become the epitome of the modern striker from a young age. He hasn’t lost his goal-scoring streak this season either: in his first 11 Premier League matches, he’s already scored 14 goals and one assist, a monstrous average of 1.27 goals per game.
In the Champions League, of course, he’s not holding back: in four appearances, he’s scored five goals.
Looking back at his time at Manchester City, updated to November 2025, the numbers speak for themselves: 108 Premier League matches, 99 goals and 18 assists; in the Champions League, 33 appearances with 31 goals.
Overall, in all competitions, he scored 143 goals in 161 games for City.
For his national team, Haaland is no exception: he became a goal-scoring machine for Norway, who crushed Italy in their World Cup qualifying group, securing a first-place finish—and direct qualification to the competition—for the first time since 1998. His goal-scoring average for Norway in 2025 is unbelievable: 16 goals in 8 games, with 3 against Italy, a quintuple against Moldova, and an overall total of 55 goals in 48 appearances. It goes without saying that he is the record-holder for his national team.
His impact isn’t just numerical, but historic: Haaland was among the earliest players to achieve several international records, and, statistics in hand, he seems the only one (perhaps alongside Mbappé) capable of challenging the numbers of Ronaldo and Messi.
How much does Haaland earn at Manchester City? Salary and contract
In January 2025, Haaland signed a monumental and very long contract renewal with Manchester City: a agreement valid until 2034, lasting approximately nine and a half years, the longest in the history of English football today.
His base salary is approximately £525,000 a week, equivalent to £27.3 million gross per year, which would equate to £15 million net (data source: Capology).
But it doesn’t end there: in addition to his base salary, Haaland also benefits from bonuses—performance and image—that could push his figure much higher. According to beIN SPORTS, his annual salary with all perks could easily exceed £30 million, even reaching £33-34 million annually.
And there’s more. According to Forbes estimates, Haaland is the 6th highest-paid footballer in the world, both on and off the pitch (behind Ronaldo, Messi, Benzema, Mbappé, and Neymar), with approximately $62 million in total contracts and endorsements in a year.
The value of Erling Haaland, one of the most valuable players in the world
Erling Haaland’s market value continues to grow impressively. While his potential initially seemed extraordinary during his spells between Molde, Salzburg, and Dortmund, he is now one of the most expensive and sought-after center forwards in the world.
According to Transfermakt’s noble estimates, Haaland would be worth €180 million today, slightly lower than his career peak of €200 million (in 2024).
It’s impressive to see the rise of the Norwegian striker, who reached €100 million at just 20 years old back in 2020.
But this is "only" his value on the pitch. His media and commercial clout is equally important: Haaland has become a true brand, with sponsorships, a large social media following, and a globally recognized image. All elements that contribute to his value not only in sporting terms, but also in economic, strategic, and long-term terms for Manchester City and Norwegian football. With all due respect to his opponents.
