City announced the new nine-and-a-half year deal on Friday for the 24-year-old Haaland, who has scored 111 goals in 125 games since joining the club from Borussia Dortmund in 2022 to establish himself as one of the world's best strikers.

"Now 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," Haaland said in a City statement.

Haaland will be turning age 34 when the contract expires.

The Athletic reported that the deal removed release clauses that were in his previous contract, which was due to expire in June 2027.

"Everyone at the club is absolutely delighted that Erling has signed his new contract," said Txiki Begiristain, City's outgoing director of football.

"The fact he is signed for so long demonstrates our commitment to him as a player, and his love of this club."

Haaland's new deal comes as City awaits a verdict after being charged with 115 breaches of the Premier League's financial rules.

"Now I am City no matter what," the Norway striker said.
