Erling Haaland's gigantic, nine-and-a-half-year contract is the most lucrative handed to a player in the history of football - although it falls short of netting him £1m a week, Mail Sport understands.

In 2022, we revealed that the Norwegian goal machine was on a total package of wages and bonuses that totalled close to £865,000 every seven days following his £51m move from Borussia Dortmund.

Under the terms of that deal, the prolific 24-year-old was paid a basic salary that was in line with the elite earners in Europe.

However, a series of almost guaranteed adds-ons, loyalty bonuses and image rights payments propelled him into a position where he was by far the highest-renumerated player in the country.
