Haaland pays special thanks to Guardiola as striker pens new TEN-YEAR deal with Man City | OneFootball

Erling Haaland has put pen to paper on a new ten-year contract with Manchester City which runs until 2034.

The striker is in his third season with the club after arriving from Borussia Dortmund in 2022, winning the treble in his first season at City.

He also lifted another Premier League title last season and has scored 111 goals in 126 appearances for the club since his arrival.

“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.

“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.

“I also want to thank Pep, his coaching staff, my teammates and everyone at the club as they have all helped me so much in the past couple of years. 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 look to do my best to try and help us achieve more success going forward.”

Haaland broke the record for the number of Premier League goals in a single season with 36 in his first season at the club and also scored 27 in the league last season.

His 52 goals in all competitions in his first season at City was the most ever by a Premier League player and this season has scored 21 in 28 in all competitions despite his team’s struggles.

City’s director of football Txiki Begiristain said: “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.

“But in addition to his outstanding natural talent and ability, Erling’s dedication, professionalism, humility and desire to keep getting better sum up what we all strive to achieve at Manchester City.

“He is one of the finest strikers in world football, but Erling is still very young and will only continue to improve working under Pep and his coaching team. If he works hard, which I know he will, he will create an incredible legacy at this football club.

“Now he can focus on his game and continuing to play a huge part in helping us try to achieve even more success.”
