Erling Haaland has solidified his future with Manchester City by signing an extraordinary nine-and-a-half-year contract with the Premier League champions.
This unprecedented deal ensures the Norwegian striker will remain at the Etihad Stadium until 2034.
Previously contracted until 2027, the 24-year-old has now committed to City for nearly a decade, with the agreement set to run until he is approaching his 34th birthday.
While the financial details have not been disclosed, the deal is believed to be one of the most lucrative in sports history.
Notably, the release clauses from Haaland’s earlier contract are reportedly no longer included.
This move eliminates speculation about a potential transfer, particularly to Real Madrid, who had been linked with Haaland after missing out on him during his 2022 transfer from Borussia Dortmund.
Haaland’s initial season at City was nothing short of remarkable, scoring 52 goals and helping the team secure a historic Treble.
This new contract reaffirms the strong relationship between Haaland and the club, where his father, Alfie Haaland, also played.
