Caption: Erling Haaland Secures Future at Manchester City with Record Deal Until 2034. Erling Haaland has signed a groundbreaking nine-and-a-half-year contract with Manchester City, securing his stay until the summer of 2034. The new deal extends his previous contract, which was set to expire in 2027, making it the longest active contract in the Premier League. Joining City in 2022, Haaland scored 52 goals in all competitions during his debut season, helping the club achieve a historic treble of the Champions League, Premier League, and FA Cup. Last season, he netted 38 goals as City claimed their fourth consecutive Premier League title. This season, he has already scored 21 goals despite team struggles. Reflecting on the extension, Haaland expressed his happiness: "Manchester City is a special club... It’s the type of environment that helps bring the best out of everybody.” Haaland emphasized his commitment: "I want to keep developing, keep working to get better, and look to do my best to help us achieve more success going forward.” Outgoing football director Txiki Begiristain said: "The fact he is signed for so long demonstrates our commitment to him as a player, and his love of this club.” The announcement coincides with City awaiting a verdict on 115 charges alleging financial misconduct spanning nine years. The club has denied any wrongdoing. Haaland’s contract surpasses others in length, including Chelsea players Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson, whose deals expire in 2033. As Haaland’s long-term future is secured, Manchester City continues to navigate both on-field ambitions and off-field challenges.
