Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has signed a huge new deal with the club, tying his future to the Etihad Stadium until the summer of 2034.

The Norwegian joined City in 2022 and has won all that there is to win during his time in Manchester, including back-to-back Premier Leagues. It looks like City’s grip on the title is loosening this year but the deal to tie down Haaland is a statement of intent going forward.

The Athletic reports that the new deal is a nine-and-a-half year extension that includes an increase in salary, making it one of “the most lucrative sporting contracts ever”.

How much is Erling Haaland’s salary in new City contract?

The exact figures have not yet been released but it’s fair to assume that it’s a significant bump in earning from the deal first signed in 2022. That initial five-year deal was reportedly worth $97.5 million, working out at an average annual salary of $19.5 million.

Back in November BeinSports reported that City were preparing to offer Haaland a new deal worth $25.3 million annually. If that figure is accurate for the new deal, the total value of Haaland’s new contract would be around $227.7 million.

Just as important, however, could be the news that any release clauses placed in the previous deal have now been removed. This is particularly significant considering that Haaland’s departure from Borussia Dortmund came when City triggered his relatively achievable release clause in 2022. There has been speculation that Haaland had asked for a clause to be included in his initial City contract to give him the possibility of a move to one of the Spanish giants - Real Madrid or Barcelona - later in his career.

With no release clause and Haaland contracted to Manchester City until the age of 34, it looks like the Norwegian is set to spend the vast majority of his career in the North-west of England. Good news for City fans after a tough few months for Pep Guardiola’s team.
