Erling Haaland signs Premier League's BIGGEST EVER contract with new NINE-AND-A-HALF YEAR deal at Man City - and release clauses are removed to stop Real Madrid transfer

Erling Haaland has signed a mindboggling nine-year contract at Manchester City in one of the largest deals in football history.

By committing to the best years of his career, Haaland will see an uplift in his £400,000-a-week wages and two release clauses in the Norwegian’s previous deal have not been re-inserted.

In seismic developments for the Premier League champions, the 24-year-old insisted that he wants to create a legacy at the Etihad Stadium.

‘I’m super happy, proud,’ Haaland said. ‘I’m looking forward to staying here for a long time. Now I can fully focus on getting better because I am going to stay here for such a long time.
