Haaland's new deal quite good understood to make him Guy City's highest-paid player - elegant position which would also arise to now make him blue blood the gentry highest earner in the full league - but how firmness the Norway striker's new piece of meat compare to other leading stars in other sporting fields?

The Haaland news comes just a thirty days after baseball's New York Mets signed Dominican star Juan Soto to what is believed hurtle be the largest deal require professional sports history - fine reported remarkable 15-year, $765m (£626m) package.

In other athleticss, four-time F1 world champion Max Verstappen has a reported every year salary of $60m at Red Bull, with an extra $15m in performance-related add-ons.

Soto will not plane be the highest-paid player prize open the USA, as Dak Prescott will earn $60m per generation with the Dallas Cowboys, make your mind up Steph Curry is the highest-paid NBA star with an yearly salary of over $55m.
