Erling Haaland signs new bumper nine-and-a-half-year contract with Manchester City

Erling Haaland has signed a new nine-and-a-half-year contract at Manchester City, the club have announced.  The striker’s existing contract was due to expire in June 2027 but he has now committed his future to the club until the 2033-34 season.

A post on the club’s X account read: “Erling’s here to stay! We’re thrilled to announce Erling Haaland has extended his contract at City to 2034.”

Haaland made an instant impact at City after signing for them in the summer of 2022 from Borussia Dortmund, firing 52 goals in all competitions to help the club win a Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup treble in his first season.  He scored a further 38 last season as City won a fourth consecutive league title.

“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.

... Haaland’s extension is a major boost for City in a season where they have unexpectedly struggled off the pitch, with the club sitting sixth, 12 points behind leaders Liverpool.  It also appears to be a show of faith from the player at a time when the club is waiting to learn the outcome of a major disciplinary case.  City faced an independent commission hearing in the autumn of last year to examine more than 100 charges from the Premier League concerning alleged breaches of its financial rules, charges the club have always strenuously denied.
