One of the best soccer players in the world has just raised the bar on compensation. Erling Haaland has signed what the Athletic calls an "extraordinary" contract to remain with Manchester City for the next 10 seasons. Terms were not announced, but it's believed to be "among the most lucrative sporting contracts ever," according to the outlet. CBS Sports reports that that the 24-year-old striker is expected to make 500,000 pounds a week, or about $610,000.. . .

This season began, and he was top of the league in scores and Man City was #1, and then, other teams learnt that if they had big guys, they could bloc his plays. True, Man. City lost 2 essential players from its mid-field, and with no one to feed the striker the ball, he could not score goals.so in 2025, Man City has tumbled down to #6, Mo Salah (from Egypt) has taken the lead in the leagues' goals, and Liverpool now has won a firm grasp on the #1 position, with Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and others also ahead of Man. City. Man. City even lost to what had been the best known team, perhaps in the world a few decades ago, its cross town rival, Manchester United.
I see this contract as far too much for a player already begining to fail. Spend on building the rest of the team.
