The treatment between Elling Holan and Manchester City is beyond imagination.
Soccer statistics media outlet Transfer Markt revealed on the 16th (Korea Standard Time) what the salary rankings of large recruiters who have newly landed in the Premier League (EPL) this season are. Florian Birz, Matheus Cunha, Liam Delap and Martin Subimendi were featured.
The rankings of new players were also noticeable, but what was surprising was Holan, the No. 1 EPL salary player. Holan's annual salary from Manchester City amounted to 31.7 million euros (about 51 billion won). If you calculate it on a weekly basis, a little less than 1 billion won is deposited into your bank account.
The reason why Holan and Manchester City's contract is even greater is that there is a wide gap with Mohamed Salah, who is currently second in the EPL. Salah was receiving 24.1 million euros (about 38.8 billion won) from Liverpool. Holan is about 1.3 times higher than Salah. He was the most treated player in EPL history.
What is more shocking than the annual salary is the contract period. Recently, when signing a new contract with a player mainly Chelsea, there are more cases of signing a long-term contract for more than five years. But that's not often the case for big players. This is because the annual salary is so large that there is a possibility that he will not stay in one team.
However, Holan signed an ultra-long-term contract with Manchester City for nine and a half years in the middle of last season. Holan will play Manchester City until 2034. Manchester City promised Holan the best treatment in EPL history by 2034. Unless mega superstars like Kylian Mbappe, Ramin Yamal and Jude Bellingham land in the EPL, there will never be a case beyond Holan's treatment for the time being.
It is possible because Holan has shown such a good performance. In the 2022-2023 season, Holan surpassed the EPL record for most goals in a single season after moving to Manchester City. With his monstrous performance of 36 goals in 35 games, he led Manchester City from the strongest in the league to the strongest in Europe. Despite suffering from injuries in the 2023-2024 season, he won the top scorer for the second consecutive time with 27 goals in 31 games.
Last season, Hallan had a difficult time as Manchester City's performance suddenly fell. Still, he showed great scoring ability with 22 goals in 31 games. Since his transfer to Manchester City, he has been producing ridiculous figures of 124 goals and 21 assists in 146 games. Considering that Holan was born in 2000 and is now in his prime, you can see why Manchester City signed an ultra-long-term contract with Holan.
