ERLING HAALAND has been tipped to become the first footballer to earn £1BILLION.

The Manchester City star’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta, has claimed that he could generate earnings outside of his typical contract.

Haaland, 23, is already estimated to be earning a whopping £865,000 per week at the Etihad Stadium.

That is made up of his weekly salary as well as the substantial bonuses he has earned through his goalscoring feats and tournament victories.

However, his agent has suggested that this is just the beginning of the striker’s potential earnings.

Man City

Haaland is paid handsomely by Manchester City.

He receives a basic salary of close to £400,000 a week, in line with other stars at the club, but performance bonuses that more than double it to £865,000 a week.

In his homeland, the Norwegian branch of Samsung made Haaland the face of their phones in 2021.

It’s not known if he still has a deal with Samsung – but that was reportedly worth £2million.

Breitling

Last year, the luxury Swiss watchmaker added Haaland to their list of ambassadors.

He joins A-listers Brad Pitt, Charlize Theron, and Adam Driver – who all rep the brand.

It is believed Haaland was paid around £1million for the privilege.

Hyperice

Through the years, sports stars have been using tools to aid recovery, which Hyperice provide.

Their most prominent product, the NormaTec uses dynamic air compression to create a restorative massage to users.

Looking like Michelin Man-style trousers, Haaland and many more are devoted to them after match days.

Haaland loves their products so much, not only is he an ambassador, he also has equity in the business that’s now worth a staggering £560million.

Viaplay

Also last year, Haaland inked a deal with Viaplay – lining up alongside Max Verstappen, another ambassador for the Norwegian streaming service.

With Viaplay holding Premier League rights in his homeland, it made sense for both parties when Haaland made the move to our shores.

Immediately, they produced the documentary Haaland: The Big Decision that chronicled his move to City.
