Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says Erling Haaland signed a new contract at the Etihad because he has faith in the club.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says Erling Haaland's new long-term contract is a sign of the Norwegian's trust in the club.running to 2034, is unprecedented for its length in the Premier League and will make Haaland one of the highest paid sports stars on the planet.
"He settled perfectly. He loves the club and the people he's around. He loves the Premier League. He is here with his wife and father and has decided there is no better place to be in the next 10 years, so he and his family decide to stay." The length of contract is beyond even those handed out to Chelsea players under their current ownership regime, and Guardiola said he needed to clarify the timescale when he was initially told.Haaland has won the Premier League's Golden Boot in both full seasons since his £51.2m move from Borussia Dortmund in 2022.
"If he continues with the numbers he has had since he arrived, yes," said the City boss ahead of Sunday's trip to Ipswich. "He is halfway through his original five-year contract and once you get into that last two years the balance of power starts to shift towards the player more than the club, as City would have observed at Liverpool," Maguire told BBC Sport."I think it's a smart business decision from City. It's an expensive decision, but it's one they could afford."
"Barcelona are financially in dire straits, they are very restricted. Paris St-Germain aren't signing big players because the value of the French TV rights has collapsed. Bayern Munich wouldn't pay the wages that Haaland is looking for."Confirmation of Haaland's new deal comes as City are targeting a major rebuild during the current transfer window.
