Manchester City are finally back in action this weekend as they take on Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux tomorrow. The international break was full of news from off the pitch that concerned the world champions. But is there even more massive news on the way concerning the world champions and the future of their star striker Erling Haaland?
Freddie Pye has relayed a report from City ‘insider ‘ Real Tolmie’s Hairdo for CityXtra that Erling Haaland appears poised to sign a lucrative contract extension with Manchester City. Furthermore, it is reported that Haaland’s new deal will run until 2029.
Erling Haaland agreeing on a new deal with Manchester City would be massive news for the club.
If the new report is proven correct then a contract extension for Erling Haaland would be massive for Manchester City. Haaland has become one of the best players in world football since arriving at City from Borussia Dortmund. The Norwegian international is the best number 9 in the game. Haaland has scored a staggering 101 goals in 108 appearances for Manchester City. That is an absurd statistic that shows just how lethal Erling Haaland is upfront for the world champions. He has also started this season strongly with 11 goals in 10 appearances in all competitions.
But more importantly, if Haaland has agreed on a new deal with City it would show that he is prepared to commit his future to the club. Given Haaland’s stature in the game that would be a huge boost for the Premier League champions. Erling Haaland is one of the biggest names in the game and his reputation continues to grow. If the Norwegian international does sign a new deal it would show that he is prepared to continue his career and develop as a player with City. That would be a massive boost for everyone connected with the world champions.
The hope is now that the new report is proven to be correct. If it is and Haaland signs a new deal with City it would be a huge boost for the club. It would mean that Manchester City could plan for the future with Erling Haaland as the centrepiece of their attack for many seasons to come.
