Manchester City is reportedly working to secure Erling Haaland’s long-term future by offering him a deal that would make him one of Europe’s highest-paid players.
Since his arrival from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2022, Haaland has been a game-changer for City. In just 114 appearances, the Norwegian striker has scored an astonishing 105 goals and provided 14 assists.
Pep Guardiola once admitted in an emotional interview after the 2021 Premier League triumph that replacing Sergio Aguero was an impossible task.
However, Haaland’s incredible goal-scoring form has proven otherwise, with the forward emerging as a worthy successor to the Argentine legend.
Discussions about an improved contract for Haaland have been ongoing, and reports suggest City is increasingly optimistic about extending his stay at the Etihad.
However, a new development indicates that a specific issue is causing delays in reaching an agreement.
