Manchester City’s star striker, Erling Haaland, has signed a groundbreaking 9.5-year contract extension, securing his stay at the Etihad Stadium until the summer of 2034. The Premier League champions made the official announcement on Friday, January 17, 2025.
The 24-year-old Norwegian, who initially joined Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund in 2022, has been a transformative force for the club. With an astounding tally of 111 goals in just 126 appearances, Haaland has cemented his position as one of football’s brightest talents.
Haaland’s previous contract was set to expire in June 2027, but this extension reflects both the club’s long-term vision and Haaland’s deep connection to Manchester City.
Speaking on his new deal, Haaland expressed his delight:
“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.”
Manchester City’s outgoing director of football, Txiki Begiristain, hailed the new agreement as a major milestone for the club:
“Everyone at the club is absolutely delighted that Erling has signed his new contract. The fact he is signed for so long demonstrates our commitment to him as a player, and his love of this club. He has made an incredible impact already in his time here, and his amazing numbers and records speak for themselves.”
Haaland’s relentless form has shattered numerous records since his arrival in the Premier League, including the single-season scoring record with 36 league goals in 2023/24.
With this extended contract, Haaland aims to build on his already stellar career by delivering more titles and memorable moments for the Manchester City faithful.
Fans and pundits alike anticipate that the Norwegian’s long-term presence will keep the club at the pinnacle of European football for years to come.
