Arriving in 2022 from Borussia Dortmund, the 24-year-old center forward has already won everything with the English club. In his first season, he achieved the Premier League-FA Cup-Champions League treble, finishing top scorer in the championship, and in the process beating the number of goals in a season in England (36 goals). The rest is just as good, or almost, since he accumulates 111 goals in 126 matches in all competitions with Manchester City. The story will not end there even if AS reveals important information this Saturday.

An evolving departure clause

Haaland still has an early exit door in this brand new contract. To sign such a term, the English club had to make concessions, such as granting a clause allowing him to leave the club for a certain sum of money. The amount of this clause decreases as the contract progresses over time. According to the Spanish daily, this will be activated in the summer of 2029 or the summer of 2030, when Haaland will have already completed half of this brand new commitment. In other words, the player partly retains control over his freedom.
