Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is happy at the Etihad and the club are looking to reward his commitment to the club
Haaland, 23, signed a five-year deal when he joined last summer from Borussia Dortmund but his entourage have also made clear that the striker has ambitions to play in a number of top European leagues. Real Madrid and Barcelona were among the clubs chasing the Norwegian when he chose City and his agent has described Real as a 'dreamland' for players.
Since achieving the landmark signing of Haaland, City have been relaxed about the player's future and his happiness in Manchester has encouraged them that a new contract can be achieved. Pep Guardiola is clear that he will not stand in the way of anyone who no longer wants to be part of the squad, yet the club have successfully managed to keep talent including Kevin De Bruyne, Sergio Aguero and David Silva away from other top clubs for the best years of their careers.
City have been delighted with Haaland since he walked through the Etihad doors. As well as breaking the Premier League scoring record to play an integral role in their historic Treble, club bosses were also impressed by his other contributions to the team and how well he has fit into the dressing room.
While there are still over three years remaining on his deal and no formal talks have taken place yet, City intend to step up those discussions over the coming months to reward the player for his efforts and to further tie down a superstar while he is so happy with his situation. Kyle Walker and Bernardo Silva were given new deals this summer after transfer interest from Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain respectively was turned down.
