Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has delivered a major boost to fans by confirming that star striker Erling Haaland has extended his contract with the club for “many years.” The Norwegian forward, who has been instrumental in City’s recent success, is set to remain a backbone of Guardiola’s project well into the future.
Speaking about Haaland’s development, Guardiola expressed delight at the striker’s growth both on and off the ball. “Haaland feels like: Man City is mine. He extended his contract for many years. He’s more there with the ball. He works a lot, work ethic, pressing and going. I’m really pleased!” Guardiola said.
Since joining from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2022, Haaland has shattered numerous records in the Premier League and Champions League, quickly establishing himself as one of the most feared strikers in world football.
