Manchester City’s Erling Haaland is poised to receive a substantial £1 million bonus from the club if he secures the Ballon d’Or award. Haaland, who delivered a standout season, scoring 52 goals in 53 matches, played a pivotal role in City’s triumphs in the Champions League, FA Cup, and Premier League. His domestic achievements earned him individual accolades, including FWA Footballer of the Year, Premier League Player of the Season, and the Golden Boot for netting 36 goals in 35 games.

Furthermore, Haaland was named UEFA Men’s Player of the Year and finished as the top scorer in the Champions League with 12 goals. He was also awarded the European Golden Shoe, recognizing him as the leading goalscorer in a European national league’s top division. Manchester City’s incentive structure rewards players for success while managing the wage bill.

Haaland, the Premier League’s second-highest earner, might face fierce competition from Lionel Messi, who is the frontrunner for the Ballon d’Or, following Argentina’s World Cup victory in Qatar. City manager Pep Guardiola jokingly proposed a separate Ballon d’Or category for Messi and other players, acknowledging the merit of both contenders. Guardiola expressed his pride in the City’s representation at the awards and emphasized Haaland’s pivotal role in the club’s success.
