In Erling Haaland, Manchester City have a striker who can lead the line for the foreseeable future. Haaland has been a goal-scoring force for the world champions since arriving at the club from Borussia Dortmund. There have now been reports that Manchester City are determined to extend Haaland’s contract with the club. Now a new report indicates that Ferran Soriano recently travelled to Norway to close a new deal with City’s number 9.
Spanish publication Sport has reported that Ferran Soriano recently travelled to Norway to ‘close’ a contract renewal with Erling Haaland. It is further reported that the champions intend to extend Haaland’s contract for a further two seasons. Furthermore, Sport reports that Manchester City are hoping to remove a release clause in Haaland’s contract.
All indications are that Erling Haaland may sign a new contract with Manchester City.
As it stands currently, indications are that Erling Haaland appears poised to sign a new deal with Manchester City. Sport’s new report suggests that negotiations between Haaland and the world champions may be in their final stages. This news follows a report from Graeme Bailey for TBR Football that City believe Haaland will sign a contract extension shortly. If the new reports prove to be correct a contract extension for Erling Haaland would be massive for Manchester City.
If Haaland is tied down on a new deal, it would allow City to build for the future with Haaland as the centrepiece of their attack. That gives the club peace of mind knowing they have arguably the world’s best striker for the foreseeable future. It will also help with City finding players who could play with and alongside the Norwegian international. Building a squad that can play with and off of Haaland would allow Manchester City to aim to continue their era of dominance as City’s senior players approach the end of their storied careers.
All signs are pointing to Erling Haaland signing a new deal with the world champions. If that comes to fruition, it would be massive news for the world champions. It now remains to be seen if and when the deal is complete. If it is completed it will be a huge boost for the club and for Erling Haaland. But all indications are that Haaland appears set to extend his stay at Manchester City.
