Welcome to the world of big bucks in soccer, where money flies faster than a striker on the break! While not every club can boast the financial clout to secure superstar signings, clubs like Manchester City and Al Nassr have been making headlines—especially with Erling Haaland and Cristiano Ronaldo both locking in jaw-dropping contracts. These two titans have just become the highest-paid soccer players on the globe, and we’re diving right into their lucrative deals.
Erling Haaland’s Salary at Manchester City
The Premier League is buzzing after the Norwegian striker’s contract extension until the summer of 2034. The buzz has intensified even more with Manchester City sealing the deal that ensures he remains with the club until 2027.
Once the highest earner in Pep Guardiola‘s talent-laden squad, Erling Haaland is preparing to take home an even heftier paycheck. Reports from The Sun reveal that his weekly wage is set to skyrocket from €474,000 to a staggering €600,000, pushing his season earnings close to €30 million.
Crunching the numbers, this powerhouse could amass over €308 million this decade, and that’s not even counting bonuses or other income streams. Just imagine, Haaland is raking in about a euro every second—60 bucks a minute, 3,600 per hour, and an earth-shattering 87,000 per day. With stats like these, it’s no wonder he’s considered one of the best-paid players on the planet!
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Salary with Al Nassr
Now let’s turn our attention to Cristiano Ronaldo, whose earnings in Saudi Arabia dwarf even Haaland’s impressive figures. Ronaldo’s contract extension keeps him at Al Nassr until at least June 2026—right around the time the World Cup is set to unfold in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.
The Portuguese legend, who’s gearing up to celebrate his 40th birthday this February, has agreed to continue with the ‘Knights of Najd,’ but under his terms.
According to reports, Al Nassr has proposed not only a hefty new contract but also bestowed upon Cristiano the power to influence team signings, putting him in a position to challenge rivals like Al Hilal and Al Ittihad. This package includes a staggering €200 million salary, making him the unique player raking in a mind-boggling €500,000 daily!
Even with such astronomical sums, it’s clear—Haaland’s earnings still pale in comparison to Ronaldo’s blockbuster numbers, even if they are quite the windfall for a 24-year-old.
