Haaland set to pocket £5m bonuses if Man City win EPL, UCL, FA Cup
Tuesday, 9 May 2023
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland could be in line for bonuses worth more than £5 million if his record-breaking season continues along the same path, according to the British daily newspaper The Sun.
The Norwegian frontman broke the Premier League's all-time single-season scoring record in midweek when he netted against West Ham. He didn't add to that tally against Leeds on Saturday, but City's 2-1 win leaves the former Dortmund star on course for a bonus with the reigning champions heavy favourites to defend their title.
The Premier League title could be one of three for City this season as they look to replicate neighbours Manchester United's 1998-99 treble. Haaland already has a number of bonuses locked in, but more trophies would mean even more money for the summer arrival.
According to The Sun, Haaland will receive a £1 million bonus if City win the Premier League and another million if they go all the way in the Champions League. Pep Guardiola's men will take on Real Madrid in the semi-finals, with one of the Milan sides awaiting in the final.
Another £350,000 is on the line if City can win the FA Cup, where they will face Manchester United at Wembley. The other bonuses surround individual achievements, with the six-figure reward for finishing as the Premier League's top scorer effectively already taken care of.
