Erling Haaland signs new nine-and-a-half-year deal with Manchester City, committing his future to the club until 2034 in one of the most lucrative sporting deals ever.
Haaland's previous deal included a release clause, sparking speculation of a future move to Real Madrid or Barcelona
The 24-year-old superstar has put pen to paper on a new contract that will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until he's 34, according to The Athletic. This comes after Haaland's previous deal was set to expire in 2027 and included a release clause, raising speculation of a future move to Real Madrid or Barcelona.
Haaland's new deal is the longest in Premier League history
Haaland's new contract surpasses Chelsea's nine-year deals for Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandes, making it the longest deal in Premier League history. The Norwegian has been in sensational form since joining Man City for €60million in 2022, scoring a remarkable 111 goals in 126 games and winning two Premier League titles and the Champions League.
Haaland on course to beat Alan Shearer's all-time Premier League goal record
With 79 top-flight goals already to his name, Haaland's new deal puts him on course to beat Alan Shearer's all-time record of 260 Premier League goals. The striker has taken the league by storm since arriving in England, and his new contract will ensure that he remains a thorn in the side of opposition defences for years to come.
The bellend has only gone and done it, hasn't he? Signing his life away to the bloody oil merchants. What a mug. But you can't deny the lad's got talent. He's been banging them in left, right and centre since he rocked up at the Etihad. And now he's set to be there until he's 34! Mental. But fair play to him, he's securing the bag and who can blame him? It's a long time though, innit? A lot can happen in nine and a half years. He could get injured, lose his form, or just get sick of the sight of Pep's shiny bonce. But for now, he's sitting pretty. And if he keeps up this form, he'll be breaking records left, right and centre. Alan Shearer better watch his back!
