If all goes to plan, Erling Haaland could scoop every bonus in his Manchester City contract at the end of the season, featuring a £1 million sum if he lifts the Champions League.
The 22-year-old Norwegian forward has enjoyed a dream debut campaign under Pep Guardiola, scoring a record 35 Premier League goals, as well as a further 12 in Europe's elite competition.
He is also on track to break or equal a number of other records, including the most hat-tricks in a Premier League season and the most goals scored in a Champions League campaign.
And if he does help City to a famous treble, Haaland could pick up a total of £5 million in bonuses, according to reports.

First of all, Haaland will land £1 million each for the Premier League and Champions League trophies, say The Sun.
The former Borussia Dortmund striker is also set to land another £350,000 if City beat local rivals Manchester United in next month's FA Cup final at Wembley.
And if he finishes the top goalscorer in England's top flight – something he is very likely to achieve after scoring 35 goals – the Norwegian will collect another £350,000.
On top of that, Haaland can expect more bonuses if he scoops individual accolades such as the PFA Player of the Year and Football Writers’ Player of the Year.
He will also receive a cash prize for featuring in the PFA Team of the Year, according to the report.
Haaland, who is said to earn £375,000 per week at the Etihad, is also one of the favourites to win the next Ballon d'Or – an accolade that could earn him another £1 million in bonuses.
It was reported last month that Manchester City are hoping their star man will pen a new deal less than a year after joining the club in a deal worth £51.5 million.
When Haaland signed for City last summer, there was a release clause of £150 million in place – a sum that can be activated in the summer of 2024.
However, it was suggested that the clause was linked to Guardiola’s future and it was cancelled when the City boss signed a new deal in November.
So there we have it. Erling Haaland could well scoop every bonus in his Manchester City contract. Will he do it?
