Erling Haaland Reaffirms Manchester City Commitment With 2034 Deal Lacking Release Clause

Haaland says discussions over Manchester City's long‑term plan convinced him to commit.

Overview

  • Haaland reiterated on The Rest Is Football podcast that he is calm, focused and happy at City after talks with club leaders about the years ahead.
  • The Athletic’s reporting, cited by UK outlets, says his January 2025 extension removed any release clause, countering prior claims of a Real Madrid‑favoured exit route.
  • He said he knew Pep Guardiola would remain for at least the near term, with the manager currently contracted to 2027.
  • Haaland acknowledged the pressure to deliver, saying City would have to replace him if he stopped scoring the goals they require.
  • The 25-year-old recently became the fastest player to reach 100 Premier League goals (111 appearances) and has 20 goals this season across competitions.
