Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was buoyed by 'exceptional new' when he faced the media on Friday after star striker Erling Haaland signed a new nine-and-a-half-year contract with the club, extending their partnership until the summer of 2034.

The deal is the longest contract agreed in English Premier League history, and while the numbers have not been made public, reports suggest Haaland will earn a basically salary of 500,000 pounds sterling a week.

The Norwegian forward has enjoyed unprecedented success since joining the ‘Citizens’ from Borussia Dortmund in 2022, clinching a historic treble in his first season.

In total, Haaland has won two Premier League titles, a Champions League, an FA Cup, a UEFA Super Cup and a Community Shield with City.

He has scored an astonishing 111 goals in 126 appearances in all competitions for City, scoring more Premier League goals than any other player since his arrival.
