Is he worth every penny if his insane goalscoring leads Man City to Champions League glory? Or will the money make jealous team-mates turn on him if the goals dry up? Sportsmail writers argue about Erling Haaland's staggering £865K-A-WEEK pay

Nowadays, wages in football are almost starting to look like transfer fees — Erling Haaland's pay packet of £865,000 per week at Manchester City shows just how much top teams are willing to spend in pursuit of silverware.

Sportsmail exclusively revealed on Thursday that substantial bonuses will likely hand the Norwegian up to £45million per year, and these incentives are almost guaranteed in terms of how achievable they are.

The salary propels Haaland way beyond his Manchester City team-mates with regards to what they earn, even though his basic wage before bonuses is believed to be on par with the highest earners at the Etihad.
