Erling Haaland has committed his future to Manchester City, signing a new contract that will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until he is 34. The Norwegian striker originally joined City from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2022, with his initial deal set to expire in 2027. However, this new agreement solidifies his place as a cornerstone of the club for years to come.
Since his arrival, Haaland has cemented his status as one of Europe’s elite strikers, netting a remarkable 111 goals in 126 games. He has also played a crucial role in helping City secure two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, the Champions League, and the UEFA Super Cup. Despite a more challenging campaign this season, City acted decisively to secure his long-term future.
A key aspect of Haaland’s new deal is the removal of the release clause that was part of his original contract. This decision significantly strengthens City’s position amid ongoing interest from Real Madrid, who have been linked with the striker since his time in Dortmund. While the exact terms of the contract remain undisclosed, it is reportedly one of the most lucrative in sports history.
Haaland, now 24, is said to be thriving both on and off the pitch in Manchester. He enjoys an excellent relationship with manager Pep Guardiola, his teammates, and the club’s hierarchy. Having recently moved into a new home and welcomed his first child, Haaland feels deeply settled in the area.
Expressing his joy at signing the new deal, Haaland said:
“I am really happy to have signed my new contract and to be able to look forward to spending even more time at this great club. Manchester City is a special place, with fantastic people and amazing supporters. Everyone here has helped me so much over the past few years, and now I want to keep developing and working to help us achieve more success.”
City’s Director of Football, Txiki Begiristain, echoed this sentiment, praising Haaland’s professionalism and commitment. “Erling’s impact has been incredible, and his records speak for themselves. He is one of the finest strikers in world football, but his dedication and humility set him apart. We’re excited to see him continue to grow and create an incredible legacy here.”
Haaland’s renewed commitment marks a pivotal moment for Manchester City, ensuring their star striker remains central to their ambitions for the foreseeable future.
