Manchester City striker Erling Haaland’s agent Rafaela Pimenta recently spoke about a possible contract extension for the Norwegian striker.
Erling Haaland joined defending English Premier League champions Manchester City at the start of the season when the Citizens paid his £51m release clause to his former team Borussia Dortmund.
Despite many doubts about the transfer, the Norwegian striker became the most important player in Pep Guardiola’s team. The striker has already scored fifteen goals in the English Premier League in his first ten games.
In addition, he has scored five more goals in the UEFA Champions League. Overall, he is currently one of the fittest players in the world and among the most loved players in the blue part of Manchester.
Haaland will stay more years in the Manchester City
Now, according to many reports, Manchester City want to extend Erling Haaland’s contract at the end of the season. The new contract will see a significant boost from his current salary.
City have done the same before with many of their superstars to keep them at the Etihad for many years. But with Haaland, the situation is a bit different.
Recently, Erling Haaland’s father told in a documentary that his son wants to challenge himself by playing in all leagues. He could stay 3 or 4 years at one club and then join another.
Now, right after this incident, a release clause worth £200m has been revealed in Erling Haaland’s contract. this release clause can only be activated by teams from outside England from the summer of 2024. The amount will also decrease in the coming years.
This gave rise to many questions. But now his agent Rafaela Pimenta has confirmed that they would like to discuss a new contract with Manchester City.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Pimenta said “I hope so!” She responded when asked if a new contract would be discussed soon: “Yes. [City] wants to discuss today, we would be happy. Why not? Always good!”
Since the departure of Sergio Agüero, Manchester City did not have a proper talisman until they signed Erling Haaland. With Haaland at his best, City look like one of the most dangerous teams in the world.
Now, if he decides to extend his contract for more years, it will be just what City need at the moment to wrap up all Erling Haaland transfer talks.
