- Prolific Striker Eyes Long-Term Success with Treble-Winning Giants
- City Director Hails Haaland’s Legacy-Building Potential
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has signed a groundbreaking 10-year contract extension, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2034. The club made the announcement on Friday, highlighting their belief in Haaland’s pivotal role in their future ambitions.
The 24-year-old Norwegian joined City from Borussia Dortmund in 2022 and has since been an integral part of the team’s success. His initial contract, set to expire in 2027, has now been extended to cement his place as a cornerstone of City’s plans.
“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. He praised his teammates, manager Pep Guardiola, and City staff for creating an environment that fuels his growth. “Now I am City no matter what. I want to keep developing, keep working to get better, and help us achieve more success going forward.”
Since his arrival, Haaland has redefined excellence on the pitch. In his debut season (2022/23), he shattered records with 52 goals in all competitions, including 36 in the Premier League, breaking the single-season record. His contributions were instrumental in Manchester City’s historic treble triumph, comprising the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League titles.
Even after an injury setback during the 2023/24 season, Haaland scored 38 goals in 45 appearances, earning his second consecutive Premier League Golden Boot. This season, he has already netted 21 goals, taking his total tally at City to 111 goals in 126 appearances, placing him 15th on the club’s all-time scoring list.
City’s Director of Football, Txiki Begiristain, lauded Haaland’s commitment. “This 10-year deal underscores our faith in him and his love for this club. His numbers and records speak for themselves, but it’s his professionalism, humility, and desire to keep improving that truly set him apart. Erling has the potential to build an incredible legacy at Manchester City.”
Haaland’s new deal not only ensures his continued presence at the Etihad but also signals Manchester City’s intent to remain a dominant force in global football for years to come. With his relentless scoring form and the club’s unwavering support, the striker is poised to etch his name into the annals of footballing history.
