It is worth 150 million euros.. The story of a penalty clause in Haaland's contract with Manchester City

In December 2019, Norwegian star Erling Halland moved from Austrian Salzburg to Dortmund with a four-and-a-half-year contract for 20 million euros, but Halland's agent put - at the time - a controversial penalty clause in the contract.

The late Italian business agent Mino Raiola left his mark in the contract, and set a penalty clause of 75 million euros that stipulates that the player can leave any club after two seasons of the contract if the club pays the value of the penalty clause, without returning or negotiating with Dortmund.

This clause was fully exploited by Manchester City, and he paid the value of the penalty clause, and signed a contract with Halland, and as happened with Dortmund, Raiola refused to leave an item that Haaland, Man City and the world of football would remember.

And the German newspaper “Bild” revealed that Haaland’s contract with Manchester City - whose terms Raiola set forth before his death - includes a penalty clause of 150 million euros that begins to take effect from the second season of the Norwegian international with “Citizens”, although Haaland’s contract - which is from It is expected to be officially presented in the coming days - extending until 2027.

And the three years of 2024, when the penalty clause begins to take effect until the end of Halland's contract, will be the scene for attempts by those wishing to include Halland in order to repeat the step of the English team, and most importantly, to secure this large amount to contract with the rising star as a rocket in the world of the round witch.

350 million euros

And the newspaper "MARCA" (MARCA) had monitored - a few days ago - the total amount paid by the English team in the Haaland deal.

The newspaper pointed out that Haaland’s signing will cost Manchester City more than 350 million euros, divided as follows: payment of the penalty clause of 75 million euros, 10 million euros in additions to Dortmund, 40 million euros as an annual salary for 5 years, 30 million euros for Halland’s father, and 50 million euros for the office of Haaland. His agent is the late Mino Raiola.
