Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has signed a new contract extension that will keep him at the club until 2034.
The Norwegian international’s previous contract with the club was set to come to an end in the summer of 2027 and, amid a poor run of form, the club have decided to extend his stay.
The Athletic’s David Ornstein, who revealed this, said ‘exit clause’ from his previous deal has been removed.
Ornstein’s report also revealed that Haaland will turn the ripe old age of 34 by the time that his new deal draws to a close and that any release clauses from his previous teams have been taken out.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter) to report one of the ‘most lucrative deals in sporting history, Ornstein revealed that the 24-year-old, widely recognised as one of the best players in world football, has extended his stay until 2034.
Since arriving at the Etihad Stadium from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2022, the Leeds-born talisman has scored goals at an alarming rate and even broke the record for the most strikes in a solitary Premier League season (36) at the first time of trying.
