Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has signed a new long-term contract with the club, keeping him at the Etihad until 2034. The Norwegian international joined City from Dortmund in 2022 and has since scored an impressive 111 goals in 126 games. Haaland’s previous deal was set to expire in 2027, but this new agreement extends his stay at the club for an additional seven years.
The contract renewal is a significant boost for Manchester City, who are currently 12 points behind leaders Liverpool in the Premier League table. Haaland’s commitment to the club dismisses speculation that his future was linked to manager Pep Guardiola’s tenure. Guardiola recently signed a new two-year deal with the club, and Haaland’s decision to sign a long-term contract suggests he is committed to the club’s vision.
Haaland’s deal is the longest in the Premier League, surpassing the nine-year contract signed by Cole Palmer with Chelsea last August. Since joining Manchester City, Haaland has won several honors, including two Premier League titles, the FA Cup, the Champions League, and the Super Cup.
The contract renewal comes at a crucial time for Manchester City, who are awaiting the outcome of their disciplinary case against the Premier League. The club faces a potential huge sanction if found guilty, but Haaland’s commitment to the club provides a welcome distraction from the ongoing uncertainty.
