Overview
- Speaking on The Rest Is Football podcast, Erling Haaland said he is calm, focused and happy at Manchester City after signing on to the club’s future plans.
- Haaland’s deal runs to 2034, and multiple reports say release clauses from his earlier contract were removed in the January 2025 extension.
- He noted Pep Guardiola was a major factor in his move and that he expected the manager to remain at least another year or so, with Guardiola contracted until 2027.
- Links to Real Madrid continue in the media, but a previously reported Madrid-favouring exit clause was rendered irrelevant by the new terms.
- The 25-year-old recently became the fastest player to 100 Premier League goals in 111 games and has 20 goals this season across competitions.
