Erling Haaland, the prolific Norwegian striker, has officially signed a new long-term deal with Manchester City, extending his stay at the club until 2034. This means he will remain with the Premier League champions for the next nine years.
The club disclosed the news on Friday, marking a significant moment in their history as they secure one of the world's top talents for an extended period.
The 24-year-old forward’s previous contract was set to expire in June 2027, but with this new agreement, Haaland has committed his future to Manchester City for the next decade, solidifying his position as a key player in the club's ambitious plans.
Haaland originally joined Manchester City in 2022 from Borussia Dortmund, and since then, he has delivered an exceptional performance. The striker has recorded a remarkable 111 goals in just 126 appearances for the club, making him one of the most efficient goal-scorers in the history of the Premier League.
In reaction to this milestone announcement, Haaland expressed his excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to continue playing for a club he considers extraordinary. He 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.”
He continued, “Manchester City is a special club, full of fantastic people with amazing supporters, and it’s the type of environment that helps bring the best out of everybody.”
The decision to extend Haaland's contract demonstrates the club's commitment to maintaining their dominance in English and European football, while also showcasing their confidence in the player’s ability to remain at the peak of his career for years to come.
