A stunning new report has emerged suggesting that Erling Haaland earns a lot more a week at Manchester City than initially thought.
The Norwegian has been in scintillating form since making the move to the Etihad in the most recent transfer window.

Haaland has bagged 19 goals in just 12 appearances across all competitions for his new club already, including three consecutive home hat-tricks.
When the 22-year-old joined City, it was claimed he had signed a five-year contract with a weekly wage of £375 000 (R7.5 million).
However, according to the Daily Mail, the striker is actually earning close to £900 000 (R18 million) a week in Manchester.
Per the report, the footballer gets a basic salary similar to the other highest-paid players in his side, but a series of almost-guaranteed bonuses see his weekly salary rise beyond the £850 000 (R17 million) mark.
According to The Times, though, it is Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe who remains the highest-paid footballer in the world as he earns £72 million (R1.4 billion) a year, compared to Haaland's £45 million (R903 million).

The Norway forward already has 14 goals in just eight Premier League matches, and if he continues at his current scoring rate, the goal-getter will end the season with at least 67 strikes.
