ARSENAL COMPLETE SIGNING MAN CITY PLAYER FOR £32M

Erling Haaland Extends Manchester City Stay Until 2034

Erling Haaland has signed a new contract with Manchester City that will keep him at the club until 2034. The Norwegian striker, who has scored an astonishing 111 goals in 126 appearances since joining City, has committed his long-term future to the club.   

Haaland's previous contract was set to expire in 2027, but Real Madrid and Barcelona were both reportedly interested in signing him. However, City has secured his services for the foreseeable future with this new deal, which is believed to be one of the most lucrative contracts in sports history.

The new contract removes any release clauses that were previously included, ensuring that Haaland will remain at City for the majority of his playing career. While a new release clause will be introduced in 2029, it is expected to be extremely high.   

This news comes as a major boost to Manchester City, who are currently experiencing a disappointing season.

City, despite their recent dominance under Pep Guardiola with six league titles in eight years, are currently 12 points behind Liverpool in the Premier League. Their disappointing form has also seen them slip to 22nd in the Champions League standings. With only two group games remaining, qualifying for the next round is crucial, and Haaland will be expected to play a key role in securing those victories.   

Haaland, who has scored five goals in six Champions League appearances this season and is currently second in the Premier League Golden Boot race, has been a vital player for City.

The announcement of Haaland's new contract is imminent, coinciding with a busy transfer window for City. The club is close to signing Eintracht Frankfurt forward Omar Marmoush and is also pursuing center-backs Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis.   

This rephrased version incorporates the information about City's current struggles, their Champions League position, and the upcoming transfers.
