TThe amount of money football moves is already stratosphericbut not all clubs can afford it offer millionaire contracts. However, there are others that can, such as Manchester City and Al Nassr with Erling Haaland And Cristiano Ronaldowho on Friday became the highest paid footballer on the planet.
The two players will extend their links with their respective teams, so we make a comparison of what they will earn in the years to come. And the result exercise is simply delusional.
Erling Haaland's salary at Manchester City
The Premier League was shaken by the extension of the Norwegian striker's contract until the summer of 2034, and did not wait any longer to finalize the deal which bound him until 2027.
But if “Android” was already the highest paid player in the world Pep Guardiolanow it will be even more so. According to figures from The Sun, Erling Haaland will go from 474,000 euros per week to 600,000; a huge increase that will allow him to earn approximately 30 million euros per season.
In this way, the Norwegian could guarantee himself profits exceeding 308 million euros during this decadewithout taking into account bonuses or alternative income
If we do the math, “Android” would earn around one euro per second… 60 per minute, 3,600 per hour and 87,000 per day… Beastly figures which make him one of the highest paid footballers in the world.
Cristiano Ronaldo's salary with Al Nassr
Figures that can't even be compared to what CR7 receives in Saudi Arabia, and after learning that he would extend his contract, at least until June 2026; dates that coincide with The World Cup will be played in the United States, Mexico and Canada.
The Portuguese star, who turns 40 on February 5, has reportedly agreed to continue with the “Knights of Najd”, but only if certain demands are met:
In the offer that Al Nassr put on the table to Cristiano Ronaldo for another year and a half, they would offer him the total power to choose the team's recruits, and thus stand up to Saudi rivals like Al Hilal and Al -Ittihad.
In exchange, he would receive 5% of the team's shares and be guaranteed a salary of 200 million eurosbecoming the only player in the world to earn 500,000 euros per day
On this basis, Erling Haaland would still be far from Cristiano Ronaldo's numberseven if these are not negligible sums for a 24 year old.
