Erling Haaland has signed an extraordinary new nine-and-a-half year contract at Manchester City.
The new contract will keep Haaland at the Etihad until the summer of 2034.
The Norwegian existing contract was due to expire in the summer of 2027.
The 24-year-old is also now said to be earning the highest-ever salary for a Premier League player.
“I am really happy to have signed my new contract and to be able to look forward to spending even more time at this great Club,” he told the official Man City website.
“Manchester City is a special Club, full of fantastic people with amazing supporters and it’s the type of environment that helps bring the best out of everybody.
“I also want to thank Pep, his coaching staff, my teammates and everyone at the Club as they have all helped me so much in the past couple of years. They have made this such a special place to be and now I am City no matter what.
“I want to keep developing, keep working to get better and look to do my best to try and help us achieve more success going forward.”
