Manchester City leaders are increasingly convinced that Erling Haaland will soon sign a new long-term contract with the "citizens." Manchester City is facing a difficult period. The shock Champions League draw against Feyenoord came after five consecutive Premier League defeats, which have raised many question marks for Pep Guardiola's side.
However, the Spanish coach signed a new 2-year contract last week, and it looks like Erling Haaland will follow in Guardiola's footsteps by renewing with City. According to English media, the Norwegian striker is expected to sign a deal valid until 2029. At the moment, Haaland still has 2 and a half years left on his current contract with the club. However, the current agreement also includes a clause for breaking the contract in the amount of 173 million pounds.
City leaders want to eliminate this clause, as any interested team can pay the predicted figure and secure the services of the Norwegian bomber. We remind you that the striker has found the net 12 times this season in the Premier League, despite Manchester City's recent defeats.
According to sources close to the club, there is a verbal agreement between Haaland and City representatives to make public the signing of the new contract before the end of this season. The player is happy at the Etihad, and the signing of a new contract by Guardiola has also had a positive effect on Haaland regarding his future at City.
Haaland won the UEFA Champions League in his first season with Manchester City, while the player has also won the Premier League in both of his seasons at the Etihad. The striker has the chance to win a third successive English Championship if City begin to close the gap on leaders Liverpool.
