Erling Haaland is Premier League highest paid player according to a report

| Haaland was again on the scoresheet twice against Copenhagen |
Haaland has appeared to be worth the money Pep Guardiola's side acquired him for during the summer transfer window after starting the 2022-23 season with record-breaking performances.
Haaland has 14 goals in his first eight Premier League appearances and a hat-trick in his last three at the Etihad Stadium. The Norway international has exceeded the already high expectations him, and his performance in the Champions League has led many to believe that City are the ones to be beaten in the competition.
Guardiola is committed to helping Manchester City win the prestigious European trophy, so Haaland will justify any payment for his services by helping the team accomplish this feat. The striker joined from Borussia Dortmund for £63m, a fraction of what he really is worth.
According to the Daily Mail Manchester City are paying Haaland almost £900,000 a week putting him as the highest paid player in the Premier League.
The breathtaking side of this report is that 900k a week puts Haaland as one of the highest paid players in world football while he earns a combined salary of both Premier League respected forwards — Mohamed Salah and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Funny? If he earns up to a £900,000 a week, that would make him the highest paid player in Europe as well.
Cristiano Ronaldo currently earns £515,000 at Manchester United while Mohamed Salah is on a £350,000 per week payments at Liverpool
