The Anti-Real Madrid Contract for Erling Haaland: Manchester City Prepares a Historic Offer
Manchester City is leaving nothing to chance. After securing Pep Guardiola’s continuity until 2026 with an option for an additional year, the English club is now focusing on its biggest star, Erling Haaland. Although his current contract runs until 2027, the Citizens aim to shield the Norwegian with a renewal deal that, according to The Sun, could reach £100 million (€120 million) in a package that would ensure his stay for another four or five years.
The goal is clear: to keep the "cyborg" out of Real Madrid’s reach, a club that has historically been interested in players of Haaland’s caliber. Currently, the striker earns approximately £375,000 per week, making him one of the Premier League’s highest-paid players. However, this new offer would not only increase his annual salary—estimated at over €23 million—but also include substantial bonuses that would make him practically untouchable in the transfer market.
The connection between Haaland and Guardiola plays a crucial role in this scenario. During his time with the Norwegian national team in the recent international break, the striker openly expressed his desire for the Spanish coach to remain with the club: "I hope Pep signs a new contract. He’s been important to me over these past two and a half years. I like Pep a lot, and I hope he likes me too." These words highlight the coach's influence on the player’s performance and satisfaction, as Haaland has scored 105 goals since joining the club in 2022.
Manchester City understands that securing Guardiola and Haaland’s continuity is key to maintaining dominance in England and Europe. With a striker who has already proven lethal in the most demanding competitions, the club is ready to push financial boundaries to prevent his departure.
If this new contract materializes, the message from City to the rest of Europe will be loud and clear: Haaland is not for sale, especially not to Real Madrid. A move that promises to secure long-term success for a team that continues to grow under Guardiola’s leadership and Haaland’s scoring prowess.
