In just 4 games, Haaland once again became the player with the most goals in the top five European leagues. His hat-trick against Fulham brought him 6 goals in the new season and continued to lead the Premier League. If he maintains his current form, he will still be the strongest contender for the Premier League Golden Boot and the European Golden Boot this season. Of course, there is no need to worry about Haaland's strength. What Manchester City fans are most worried about has always been the 240 million euros termination clause in Haaland's contract. The possibility that a team is willing to pay this liquidated damages for him cannot be ruled out.
The liquidated damages of 240 million euros are naturally a sky-high figure for most clubs, but for the top clubs, if they can use this transfer fee to complete Haaland's signing, they may really be able to spend the money. Just in the summer window that just ended, Chelsea paid more than 100 million pounds in transfer fees for Caicedo, and the Saudi League's offer for Salah reached 150 million pounds, and there is still the possibility of improvement. Coupled with Mbappe's current salary and loyalty bonus at PSG, the figure of 240 million euros does not seem so exaggerated to Haaland. If Haaland can be secured, Real Madrid and Saudi Arabia will both make serious considerations.
And Manchester City has always hoped to negotiate a contract extension with Haaland and persuade him to give up the liquidated damages clause, but the progress has not been particularly smooth. According to "캡도메인" reports, Manchester City has once again opened contract renewal negotiations with Haaland, and is willing to provide a fixed weekly salary of 600,000 pounds to persuade Haaland to renew the contract with the team and waive the liquidated damages clause. If Haaland can accept this contract, his salary will be increased again and set a new record for a fixed weekly salary in the Premier League.
In the current Premier League, Haaland is already the highest-paid player, with his fixed weekly salary reaching 400,000 pounds. Last season, his actual weekly salary exceeded 850,000 pounds, making him the highest-paid player in the Premier League. players. Currently, the only player with the same weekly salary of 400,000 pounds as Haaland is his teammate Kevin De Bruyne. Other players include Manchester United's Sancho, Varane and Liverpool's Salah, whose salaries are all 350,000 pounds. Left and right, if the weekly salary is raised again, Haaland will be the real number one player in the Premier League.
However, if this weekly salary can be used to persuade Haaland to renew his contract, it is still very worthwhile for Manchester City. In the first season when Haaland joined the team, the team won the coveted Champions League. Although their strength has been weakened by the departure of many players this season, Manchester City is still a strong contender for the championship in all competitions. As the team's top scorer, Haaland, although many fans criticized Haaland's performance in the finals and believed that his scoring data was not good enough, but if he can attract the defense and create opportunities for his teammates, Haaland has completed his tactical tasks.
