Fact-check: OneFootball reports that Manchester City’s chief executive is on a trip to Norway to close an agreement with City’s striker Erling Haaland. Apparently, the CEO would be discussing more about Haaland’s future at Etihad Stadium.
Keep in mind: Haaland lives in Norway and for what it’s worth, he signed a 5-year $97,500,000 contract with the Manchester City F.C., which at the time also included an average annual salary of $19,500,000.
Though Haaland’s contract is scheduled to expire later in 2026, City’s management is making sure that everything is going well in terms of their earlier contract with the striker.
Clearly, Haaland’s style of play and impact on the games has, so far, been commendable… so City making sure everything is on the up and up with him is only reasonable. They would reportedly discuss an improved contractual agreement, including an increased salary package.
Recall: Haaland scored the only goal Manchester City recorded in the Saturday match against Brighton.
Apparently: European media are now linking Haaland with having a transfer interest from both Real Madrid and FC Barcelona in Spain, as well as Bayern Munich back in the Bundesliga. Well… This calls for a major concern for City, especially given that Haaland has been good this season.
OneFootball Reports: Reporters at OneFootball are now hinting that the reports about Haaland have an interest in competing at all levels of the European game to showcase his outstanding goalscoring capabilities at several clubs. He’s scored quite a few goals, so check THAT.
Don’t panic Cityzens: Sources confirm that neither people from Haaland’s camp nor Man City have any intention of striking an agreement that would end up having Erling Haaland leave the club in a blockbuster transfer, and as such they are working intensely to renew their agreement.
His contract would likely be renewed: As opposed to a few reports that are linking Haaland to having a transfer interest, sources say he is, in fact, still at Man City. Best bet, his contract will be renewed once an agreement is reached with the City’s stakeholders.
We Quote OneFootball Directly: “According to the information of Spanish newspaper Sport, as translated and relayed by Sport Witness, Manchester City’s chief executive Ferran Soriano recently traveled to Norway to ‘close’ a contract renewal agreement with Erling Haaland.”
In that same report, the publication hints that City would extend Haaland’s Etihad Stadium deal for two more years. Interestingly, City would remove the release clause in the process – with previous reports suggesting the value was in excess of €150 million.
For what itʼs worth: Erling Haaland is a Norwegian professional football player, who now plays as a striker for Premier League club Manchester City and the Norway national team.
