If one has the resources to sign a footballer who is as effective as Erling Haaland for a decade, then there will always be strong arguments to do so – whatever choppy waters Manchester City might face in their immediate future.

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has committed his future to the club by signing a 10-year contract with the Premier League champions.

Erling Haaland signed a nine-and-a-half-year deal to stay at Manchester City until 2034. The new agreement removed the release clauses of his previous arrangement and pours cold water on him one day leaving to join Real Madrid, at least for the time being.
