Massive salary and a clause active from 2029: details of Haaland's new contract with Manchester City

Today, one of the best strikers in the world, Erling Haaland, extended his contract with Manchester City until the summer of 2034. New details about the agreement have also emerged.

Details: According to Fabrizio Romano, Haaland will now earn £500,000 per week, the highest salary in Manchester City’s history. Cumulatively, Haaland will earn more than £240 million over the 9.5 years of his contract.

Additionally, the contract includes a release clause that will only become active in the summer of 2029. While the exact amount of the clause has not been disclosed, it is reportedly substantial.

Here’s what Haaland had to say about the new deal:

"I am very happy to sign this new contract and to have the opportunity to spend even more time at this great club.

Manchester City is a special club, full of fantastic people and incredible fans, and it’s an environment that allows everyone to perform at their best.

Pressure? No problem. I’m staying here for a long time. I want people to expect a lot from me and to push me hard!"

This season, Haaland has scored 21 goals in 27 matches across all competitions. Overall, he has 111 goals in 126 appearances for the club.
