Manchester City Striker Signs 10-Year Contract Extension
Norwegian striker Erling Haaland has signed a 10-year contract extension with Manchester City that will keep him at the club until 2034, the Premier League side announced on Friday.
Haaland’s contract was set to expire in June 2027, but the 24-year-old committed to the club until the age of 34.
The Norwegian, who was signed from Borussia Dortmund in 2022, has netted 111 goals in 126 matches for City, winning the treble of the Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League in his debut season under manager Pep Guardiola.
“I am super proud and happy, and I am looking forward to staying here for a long time,” Haaland said in a statement, describing it as “an easy decision”.
“Now I can fully focus on getting better because I am going to stay here for such a long time.”
Haaland broke records in his first season in England, netting 36 goals in his debut Premier League campaign and 52 in all competitions.
He scored 27 league goals last season as City won a fourth consecutive Premier League title, while he has bagged 16 so far this season.
With 79 league goals in just 87 appearances, Haaland is well placed to challenge Alan Shearer’s mark of 260 Premier League goals – a record that has stood since the England striker retired in 2006.
