•Energetic striker, Erling Haaland
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has signed a new 10-year contract that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2034, the club announced today.
The 24-year-old Norwegian, who joined City from Borussia Dortmund in 2022, has been a pivotal figure in the club’s recent successes, reports The PUNCH.
His initial contract was set to expire in 2027, but the new deal reflects the club’s confidence in Haaland’s importance to their future.
“Erling Haaland has signed a new 10-year Manchester City contract, keeping him at the Club until the summer of 2034,” the statement said.
Reflecting on the new contract, Haaland expressed his delight at extending his stay.
“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,” he said.
Haaland thanked his teammates, manager Pep Guardiola, and the City staff, stating, “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 help us achieve more success going forward.”
Since his arrival, Haaland’s impact has been nothing short of extraordinary. In his debut 2022/23 season, he scored 52 goals across all competitions, the highest-ever tally by a Premier League player in a single season, breaking the previous league record of 36 goals.
His goals were instrumental in City’s historic treble-winning campaign, which included the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League titles.
In addition to collective success, Haaland garnered numerous individual accolades in his debut season, including the PFA Player of the Year, Premier League Player of the Year, Young Player of the Year, and the Football Writers’ Association Player of the Year awards.
Despite an injury that sidelined him for nearly two months during the 2023/24 season, Haaland continued his prolific form, scoring 38 goals in 45 appearances, including 27 in the Premier League, securing a second consecutive Golden Boot.
City’s Director of Football, Txiki Begiristain, highlighted the significance of Haaland’s long-term commitment.
“Everyone at the club is absolutely delighted that Erling has signed his new contract. The fact he has been signed for so long demonstrates our commitment to him as a player and his love for this club.
“He has made an incredible impact already, and his amazing numbers and records speak for themselves. But beyond his natural talent and ability, it’s Erling’s dedication, professionalism, humility, and desire to keep improving that set him apart. If he works hard, he will create an incredible legacy at this football club,” Begiristain said.
With 21 goals already in the current 2024/25 season, Haaland’s total tally at City stands at 111 goals in 126 appearances.
He has quickly climbed to 15th on the club’s all-time scoring list and continues to set records. In September, he became the 19th player in City history to reach 100 goals.
