Manchester City was absolutely keen to secure Erling Haaland. On Friday, The Athletic reported that the Norwegian had committed his future to the Sky Blues, with his new contract running until 2034.
Yes, 2034 — another nine and a half year extension with the Citizens. This should end any speculation regarding a move to Real Madrid and ease the concerns of Manchester City fans. “I can concentrate fully on my improvement because I know I will be here for a long time. I am entirely focused on performance and progress… I want people to be very demanding of me and put pressure on me ,” commented Haaland after this historic extension.

Nine and a half years. Have we ever witnessed such an extension in the world of football? Spanish midfielder Saul Niguez had signed for the same term with Atletico Madrid, which led to a rather calamitous turn of events. The Athletic describes this as “one of the most lucrative contracts in sporting history”, although details regarding the Norwegian striker’s new salary remain undisclosed.
Despite a slight dip in form for his team, Erling Haaland’s extension comes at a remarkable time. Perhaps this signals intent ahead of the crucial Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain next Wednesday.
