Aqui para ficar: Haaland assina novo contrato de 10 anos com o City! | OneFootball

Erling Haaland assinou um novo contrato de 10 anos com o Manchester City, mantendo-o no clube até o verão de 2034.

Um dos melhores atacantes do futebol mundial, desfrutou de duas primeiras temporadas e meia extraordinárias desde que ingressou no clube vindo do Borussia Dortmund, no verão de 2022.

Em sua primeira campanha no Etihad, o internacional norueguês provou ser um dos principais catalisadores no elenco do City, com a histórica conquista da Premier League, FA Cup e Liga dos Campeões.

Ao longo do percurso, o atacante marcou um incrível número de 52 gols em todas as competições – o maior número de todos os tempos de um jogador da Premier League – além de marcar um total de 36 gols no campeonato, com Haaland também vencendo a Chuteira de Ouro da Premier League.

Uma série de prêmios individuais de prestígio também foram recebidos, incluindo o prêmio de Jogador do Ano da PFA, os prêmios de Jogador do Ano da Premier League e de Jogador Jovem do Ano, com Haaland também sendo nomeado Jogador do Ano da Associação de Escritores de Futebol.

Haaland então seguiu aquela temporada inaugural recorde no City, causando um impacto igualmente sísmico na temporada passada, quando o City fez ainda mais história ao se tornar o primeiro time masculino inglês a ganhar quatro títulos consecutivos da primeira divisão.

Apesar de ter ficado afastado dos gramados por quase dois meses devido a lesão, Erling marcou surpreendentes 38 gols em 45 partidas - incluindo 27 na Premier League - o que lhe valeu o segundo Goden Boot consecutivo.

O norueguês voltou a estar em boa forma até agora na campanha de 2024/25, marcando 16 gols em apenas 21 jogos na Premier League até o momento e marcando 21 em todas as competições em 28 jogos até o momento.

Ele já ocupa o 15º lugar na lista dos maiores artilheiros de todos os tempos do Clube.

Haaland’s cumulative total of 52 goals in all competitions represented the biggest haul ever by a Premier League player.

Along the way to hitting that astounding landmark, Erling also created another slice of notable history, his tally of 36 goals also seeing him break the record previously held by Andrew Cole and Alan Shearer for the most Premier League strikes in a single season.

Meanwhile, Erling carved out another unique chapter in Manchester City history, a five-goal special during March’s 7-0 Champions League last 16 second leg win over RB Leipzig seeing him score the most goals in a single season for the Club, overhauling the previous tally of 38 set by Tommy Johnstone – a record that had stood the test of time since the 1928/29 campaign.

The striker also plundered six hat-tricks in all competitions – as many as every other Premier League player combined - with Haaland also notching up trebles in three consecutive Etihad league games back in the Autumn of 2022 against Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and Manchester United in what was another top-flight first.

It was a compelling, era defining campaign that saw fans and pundits alike run out of superlatives in trying to describe Haaland’s astounding impact.

The range of goals were also memorable. From predatory close-range finishes to towering headers, from acrobatic, balletic leaps where Haaland appeared to defy the laws of gravity to thunderous shots and lung bursting runs, his repertoire was simply extraordinary

Equally eye-catching was the way Haaland went about his record-breaking business.

For a player with the eyes of the world trained on him week in, week out, from the off Erling played with a smile on his face, the joy of playing football for his beloved City plain for all to see.

Allied to that freedom of expression he also demonstrated a relentless hunger and drive to constantly seek to improve and learn – the very fundamentals of Pep Guardiola’s approach to football.

Individual accolades also quickly followed suit in the wake of his towering contribution to City’s greatest-ever season.

Amongst a plethora of individual awards, Haaland was voted the PFA Player of the Year, the Football Writers’ Association Player of the Year – Erling gaining more than 80 per cent of the votes cast – as well being acclaimed as both the Premier League Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year.

The obvious question after all those Herculean feats was a simple one: ‘How on earth do you follow that?’

Haaland’s answer – as always – was to let his football do the talking in the most eloquent fashion and carry on from where he left off… by scoring lots more goals.

All told last season, Erling weighed in with a remarkable 38 goals from 45 appearances – 27 coming in the Premier League alone – a feat which earned him a second successive Golden Boot prize.

It would have been even more but for a near two-month winter lay-off due to a stress reaction in his foot.

Haaland’s efforts proved instrumental in helping pilot Guardiola’s side to an unprecedented fourth straight Premier League title - the first time any English men’s side had achieved such a phenomenal feat.

Erling also helped City secure the UEFA Super Cup last August although sadly that mid-winter foot injury meant he was unable to figure in our FIFA Club World Cup triumph in Saudi Arabia in late 2023.

Along the way Haaland also became the quickest player in Premier League history to register 50 goals, as well as being the youngest and quickest to reach the 40-goal career tally in the UEFA Champions League.

Before 2023 was out, more individual awards followed suit with Erling the recipient of the prestigious 2023 Gerd Muller Trophy at that year’s Ballon d’Or awards before also being named as the 2023 BBC Sports Personality World Star of the Year.

Once again though Erling was at pains to remind everyone it was about the collective not the individual.

Fit and refreshed after a rare lengthy 2024 summer break, Haaland once again came roaring out of the blocks once the 2024/25 season got underway claiming back-to-back hat-tricks against Ipswich and West Ham before August was out.

Erling then became just the 19th player to chalk up a century of goals for City when scoring in September’s 2-2 draw with Arsenal.

And, more latterly, his brace in our 4-1 home win over West Ham in what was City’s first game of 2025 saw him become the third highest Premier League scorer in Etihad history, the double taking his tally to an incredible 46 strikes on home turf from just 44 appearances.

Now, in the wake of his new contract, Erling is set to bring more joy and delight to the City faithful over the rest of this season and beyond.
