Manchester City unveiled a captivating 1-minute, 12-second video announcing a monumental decision: Erling Haaland is here to stay. The Norwegian superstar striker, known for his incredible goal-scoring prowess, has extended his contract until June 2034, a move that excites City fans and sends shivers down opposing defenders’ spines.
In the video, Haaland quipped, “Dear defenders, I’m sorry. I’m here to stay,” signaling his unwavering commitment to the club. Since joining City from Borussia Dortmund in July 2022 for €60 million, Haaland has evolved into a goal-scoring phenomenon. With 111 goals in 126 appearances, five major trophies, and a pivotal role in City’s historic treble-winning 2022–23 season, Haaland’s impact is undeniable.
The extended deal makes Haaland the Premier League’s longest-contracted player, eclipsing Chelsea’s Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson, who are signed until 2033. By the time Haaland’s new deal ends, he’ll be 34, solidifying his legacy at the Etihad.
Haaland expressed his ambition, stating, “I want to keep improving and help the team achieve even greater success.” Outgoing football director Txiki Begiristain called the renewal a testament to the club’s commitment and Haaland’s love for Manchester City.
With this long-term extension, Haaland reaffirms his position as the future of Manchester City’s dominance.
