Manchester City are finally back in action this weekend, taking on Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux tomorrow. The international break was filled with news related to the world champions from off the pitch. But could more big news be on the horizon regarding the future of the world champions and their star striker Erling Haaland?
Freddie Pie has told CityXtra that Erling Haaland looks set to sign a lucrative contract extension with Manchester City, citing a report from City ‘insider’ Real Tolmies Hairdo. It is reported that Haaland’s new contract will run until 2029.
Erling Haaland agreeing a new contract with Manchester City would be big news for the club.
If new reports prove correct, signing Erling Haaland would be a huge deal for Manchester City. Haaland has become one of the best players in world football since joining City from Borussia Dortmund. The Norwegian is the best number 9 in this match. Haaland scored an astonishing 101 goals in 108 appearances for Manchester City. This is an absurd statistic that shows how deadly Erling Haaland is for the world champions. This season also got off to a strong start with 11 goals in 10 games in all competitions.
But more importantly, if Haaland agrees a new contract with City, it will show he is ready to commit his future to the club. Given Haaland’s stature in this game, it will 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 were to sign a new contract, it would show that he is ready to continue his career at City and develop as a player. That will be a big boost for everyone involved with the world championship.
It is hoped that the new report will prove correct. If that happens and Haaland signs a new contract with City, it would be a huge boost for the club. That means Manchester City can plan for the future with Erling Haaland at the heart of their attack for many seasons to come.
