Erling Haaland has signed a 9.5-year contract extension with Manchester City that will tie him to the club until 2034. Sources say the contract is among the most lucrative in sports history.
The new deal also removes buyout clauses that were included in his contract when he was acquired by the City from Borussia Dortmund in 2022. Haaland had previously been linked with a potential transfer to Real Madrid and Barcelona.
\"I am really happy to have signed my new contract and to be able to look forward to spending even more time at this great club,\" Haaland said.
\"Manchester City is a special club, full of fantastic people with amazing supporters and it\'s the type of environment that helps bring the best out of everybody.
\"I also want to thank Pep [Guardiola], his coaching staff, my teammates and everyone at the club as they have all helped me so much in the past couple of years.
\"They have made this such a special place to be and now I am City no matter what. Now I want to keep developing, keep working to get better and look to do my best to try and help us achieve more success going forward.\"
Haaland has scored 111 goals in 126 games for the club and won two Premier League titles, the FA Cup and the Champions League.
