In a recent report, Marca stated that Manchester City are preparing to offer Erling Haaland a new contract. It is understood that the Mancunian club are eager to tie the Norway international down to a new deal as they look to keep him at the Etihad Stadium for the long run.
Haaland’s Excellent Record At Man City Last Season
Haaland had a brilliant campaign at the Mancunian club recently as he produced a series of match-winning displays for them in front of the opponent’s goal. The Norwegian talent played in 45 matches for Man City last season, finding the back of the net 38 times and earning five assists in various competitions.
The 24-year-old did well to average 3.9 shots and 0.9 key passes per game in the Premier League. He was even tidy when distributing possession in the final third based on his pass success rate of 77.4% in the English top tier (stats via whoscored).
His current contract at the Etihad Stadium will run out in the summer of 2027. Still, it makes sense for Man City to offer him a new deal and secure his long-term future at the club.
Manchester City Are Preparing To Offer Haaland A New Contract: Good Move For Both Parties?
Haaland can find a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He is a deadly finisher in the final third and can create the odd chance for his teammates in the opponent’s half when he is playing well on the field.
The Norway international can even use his strong 1.95m frame to win a few aerial duels for his team. However, Haaland has to find a way to improve his link-up play up top. At 24, the future looks quite promising for the Norwegian sensation. He is currently one of the most prolific forwards in European football, so it is only logical for Man City to try and tie him down to a new contract this summer.
Haaland has what it takes to help Pep Guardiola‘s side compete for even more trophies in the coming seasons. Therefore, extending his contract would be a good move for both the player and the Mancunian club as they look to bring more success to the Etihad Stadium in the future.
