Erling Haaland's staggering new salary after signing a new deal until 2034 at Manchester City has reportedly been revealed.
Last week, City confirmed that they have tied Haaland to an astonishing nine-and-a-half-year contract.
The Norwegian striker is now believed to be the highest-earning player in the Premier League by quite some distance after committing his future to the reigning English top-flight champions.

According to The Guardian, Haaland now earns a mouth-watering salary of £500,000 (R11.4 million) per week.
His incredible wages are £100,000 (R2.2 million) more than the next best-paid player in the Premier League, Kevin De Bruyne.
After signing his record-breaking deal, Haaland told City's official website: "I am super happy. I am proud. It is difficult to put into words because it is a big moment. I am happy and that is the right word to use.
"In the end, speaking with the people I spoke with, the hunger and the support that I have been getting for the last couple of years from the board, from the bosses and from Pep, it was an easy decision. I am delighted."
Meanwhile, his manager Pep Guardiola was left stunned by the fact that the 24-year-old has agreed to sign such a long-term contract.
He told Sky Sports: "When Ferran told me, I said 'sorry, can you tell me again!?' Because I could not believe it. It never happened before. After that it happened, but I don't think anybody pushed the other one. I think both [parties] wanted it.
"It is great news for the club, I hope [and expect] he is happy, otherwise he would not do it. To have this incredible talent, unique player and striker for the club, for the next decade, is really important."
Despite an apparent dip in form, Haaland remains in contention for the Premier League Golden Boot with 17 goals at the moment, a tally only bettered by Mohamed Salah's 18 goals in the competition so far.
