Erling Braut Haaland is expected to sign for Manchester City in the summer.

According to a report by The Times, those in positions of power at Borussia Dortmund believe that the striker will join Pep Guardiola's side after being offered an enormous salary package.

Haaland is set to earn in excess of £500,000-a-week if he moves to City and that would make him one of the highest-paid players in Premier League history.

That salary would also make him the highest earner at the Etihad, which is saying something given the money pumped into the club by the owners in recent years.

So just how far ahead of the rest would Haaland be from a wages perspective if he indeed put pen to paper on a mammoth £500,000-a-week deal?

Well, the answer is quite a lot, according to the data available on Spotrac - which we cannot say for certain is 100% accurate.

Given their importance to the team and also looking at other players' salaries on the list above, it's safe to say Cancelo, Dias, Silva, Rodri, Laporte and Mahrez are a tad underpaid.

On the other end of the scale, Grealish, Fernandinho and Stones are perhaps earning a little bit too much.

De Bruyne's salary is obviously enormous, but as he's arguably the best midfielder in the world, it's understandable that he pockets £400,000-a-week in the current footballing climate.

You do have to wonder what will be going through the Belgian's head if he's usurped by Haaland as City's highest-paid player, though.

De Bruyne is the team's creator-in-chief and most important player, so you'd think he wouldn't be best pleased if a 21-year-old overtook him financially, right?

The playmaker will be even more annoyed if Haaland didn't hit the ground running and earn him assists aplenty...
