Man City Exclusive: Big Erling Haaland update today

Erling Haaland’s Man City contract talks have been held up over a potential release clause, sources have told Football Insider.

Discussions have gone on for some time over a rewarding new deal for the 24-year-old, who has ripped up the Premier League since arriving in England.

Sources say a release clause is likely to be included in the final contract signed by Haaland.

The striker is expected to commit his future to City – who are focused on rewarding his form and tying him down long-term.

Haaland and his representatives negotiated a similar release clause at Dortmund – an agreement which eventually saw him join Pep Guardiola’s side for a reported fee of just £51million.

That fee rose dramatically after agent payments and signing-on fees were taken into account – up to around £86million.

Haaland is naturally attracting interest from top European clubs – with Real Madrid regularly mentioned as a potential destination for the Norway international.

He has already hit seven goals in just three Premier League games this season.

The 24-year-old has scored 97 goals and contributed 14 assists in 102 games for City since joining in 2022.

Haaland’s existing contract at the Etihad Stadium runs until June 2027.
