Ten years ago, about & Premier League maximum salary & World s first-class value! 24-year-old Haaland has experienced the lowest season

When the 2024/25 season officially ended, the performance of Premier League giant Manchester City striker Ellin Haaland became the focus of hot discussion. The 24-year-old Norwegian center is currently tied for the highest in global football with Vinicius with a net worth of 200 million euros. However, this season's data and influence have declined significantly, becoming one of the microcosms of the turbulent "Blue Moon" season.

Since joining Manchester City with a transfer fee of 60 million euros in 2022, Haaland has quickly become a phenomenal player in the Premier League. In his first season of joining (2022/23), he scored the most 36 league goals in Premier League history, scoring 52 goals in all competitions, helping Manchester City win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League trio, and won the personal honors - the Golden Boot Award, Premier League Player of the Year, UEFA Player of the Year, etc., all won.

Although the second season has slightly fluctuated, Haaland still won the Premier League Golden Boot with 27 goals, continuing to maintain efficient output, confirming his dominance in European centers.

Entering this season, Haaland's condition has declined significantly due to multiple factors. Injuries became the biggest obstacle - he missed nearly two months of games due to a muscle strain in the middle of the season, which caused his playing time and rhythm to be severely disrupted.

Even when he appears, his condition is hard to describe as ideal, lacking the aggressiveness and explosiveness of the past. Haaland scored 22 goals in various competitions throughout the season, of which only scored 18 goals in the Premier League. Not only did he fall below the "League 20+" for the first time, he also failed to complete the Golden Boot three consecutive games, and was overtaken by Salah, Watkins and other players on the scorer list.

In the Champions League, Haaland failed to become the decisive figure. Manchester City stopped in the semi-finals. He lost all his strength in the knockout stage and was questioned by many media.

Although the performance this season has not met expectations, Manchester City is still firmly betting on the super center. At the beginning of this year, the club gave Haaland a 10-year ultra-long contract, leaving him in Etihad until 2034, with an annual salary of more than 20 million euros, the highest in the Premier League.

This contract not only shows the dependence of Guardiola's system on Haaland's future construction, but also conveys the confidence of the club's management. Although the data has declined in the short term, the 24-year-old Haaland is still in the rising period of his career, and his physical fitness, shooting efficiency and in-going sense of smell are still the best in the world. The ten-year long appointment not only writes about trust, but also challenges. Haaland also has time to fulfill the expectations of fans and the team.
