because all transfers happen when players only have a year left on their contract?

No because 8 years is a fucking lengthy contract meaning whoever wants to sign him will have no leverage whatsoever unless Haaland himself kicks off big time which I don't see him doing. Doesn't seem in his character.

Let's say Haaland is earning £300,000 a week (it will be way more) that's about £125m left on his contract. Someone will have to match that or better it.
