Few players have signed 9.5-year deals, and it is rarer still that a top player would commit their future to one club for that long. Yet Manchester City have managed just that with Erling Haaland, who today penned a deal until 2034.
That would appear to tie him down for much of his career, and Marca admit that he is currently fully focused on winning trophies with Manchester City. It does not hurt that he will be earning well in excess of half a million euros per week, and €3.5k per hour.
However they do say that the ‘small print’ in his contract means Haaland still has his future in his hands. While they do explicitly state that there is no release clause in the contract, Haaland’s agents have devised a ‘formula’ for him to leave the club, should he desire and City agree to it. They note that it is only valid for Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, and would still include a hefty price tag.
Given the vagueness of the wording, it is hard to evaluate just what that formula might be. It would be a surprise if agent Rafaela Pimienta had relinquished control of her client’s future for such a long period without an exit route though. Previously in interviews, Pimienta has commented that they aim to ensure their clients are the masters of their own destiny.
Yeah of course they have seen the contract
Get out of here. reporting on wishful thinking
Very strange they only announced this today yet the Spanish media already know the content of his contract.
Madrid is obviously a huge upgrade for any players, not only Haaland. But PSG? At the moment City is bigger & more successful than PSG. A big fish in a small pond that’s what PSG is.
Embarrassing and desperate journalism after he’s just signed a 9.5 year contract.
Move on and try and find real and genuine news stories rather than resorting to producing clickbait…
Championship here he comes!
So on the evidence of a comment made by his agent over other players you have come up with Madrid can still get him. Yes should he say ” Boss I want to go and play for Real Madrid” and City reply with ” ok”…………..about as much chance as me winning the lottery twice in a row. It could happen but what are the chances. Small print my bottom considering no one will ever get to see the contract.
What complete nonsense. Firstly they have NOT seen the contract and release clauses removed, so Madrid can afford €250M 😂😂😂
