ERLING HAALAND could land a £5million jackpot if he helps fire leaders Manchester City to the Treble.
The record-breaking striker’s move from Borussia Dortmund last summer included a series of success-related lucrative windfalls.
And the champions’ incredible season means the 22-year-old Norwegian will collect a pot of gold to add to an array of winners’ medals.
It is understood that Haaland will collect around £1m each for lifting the Premier League and Champions League trophies.
He would pick up a further £350,000 if City beat neighbours United in the first all-Manchester FA Cup final next month.
Haaland will also fill his boots if he is successful in various end-of-season awards — some of which are already in the bag.
He has already set a new high for Premier League goals in a season and will finish as top scorer — banking a similar amount to his FA Cup bonanza.
Individual accolades such as PFA Player of the Year, Football Writers’ Player of the Year and making the PFA Team of the Year carry further hefty top-ups.
City have similar incentives in place for Kevin De Bruyne, preferring to hand out big bonuses for success and keep their wage bill under control.
Haaland is also a serious rival to World Cup winner Lionel Messi in this year’s Ballon d’Or — given to the best player on the planet — which Etihad insiders claim is worth another £1m payout.
City paid a bargain £51.4m for the Norway striker and wages of £375,000-a-week if he featured in 60 per cent of the games — something he has also done.
SunSport revealed last month that Haaland’s camp are open to discuss an improved deal, adding a further 12 months to take his agreement up to the summer of 2028.
