Erling Haaland has signed a mammoth nine-and-a-half-year contract at Manchester City.

The striker was under contract at the Etihad Stadium until 2027, but has extended his deal until 2034.

The exact numbers involved have not been made public by City, but sources have told ESPN that it is among the most lucrative contracts in sports history.

The 24-year-old's new deal has also removed buy-out clauses that were included in his contract when he arrived from Borussia Dortmund in 2022.

Haaland has been heavily linked with a move to Spain in the future with both Real Madrid and Barcelona expressing interest in the past.
