Erling Haaland has signed a new nine-and-a-half-year contract to keep him at Manchester City until the summer of 2034.
Haaland’s previous contract was due to expire in the summer of 2027 but he has now signed one of football’s longest-ever deals that will see him turn 34 years old by the time it ends.
Reflecting on his new deal, Haaland said: “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.
“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.
“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.”
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”.
