Erling Haaland has signed a new contract at Manchester City that ties him to the Premier League champions until 2034.
City announced the new 9½-year deal on Friday for the 24-year-old Haaland, who has scored 111 goals in 125 games since joining the club from Borussia Dortmund in 2022, The Associated Press reported.
“Now I want to keep developing, keep working to get better and look to do my best to try and help us achieve more success going forward,” Haaland said in a City statement.
The Norway striker will be age 34 when the contract expires.
“Everyone at the club is absolutely delighted that Erling has signed his new contract,” said Txiki Begiristain, City’s outgoing director of football. “The fact he is signed for so long demonstrates our commitment to him as a player, and his love of this club.”
The new deal for Haaland comes as City awaits a verdict after being charged with 115 breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules.
“Now I am City no matter what,” Haaland said.

Everton boss David Moyes conceded he is left with a small squad after a disappointing transfer window in which key players departed the club and a deadline day medical fell through as they tried to sign American striker Folarin Balogun.

Moyes expressed frustration at his club's close-season business, revealing they did not want to lose Senegal forward Iliman Ndiaye but were powerless when bigger teams like Manchester City look to sign their players.

"Disappointed we didn't do more business and disappointed things didn't go our way in the end. Sometimes in football you have to live with disappointment and we will move on," Moyes told reporters on Friday.

"I know what I ⁠needed and I ⁠know what it's like to build a squad for the Premier League, I know the numbers you need. I've been around long enough to know that, but some things went against us and some things could have gone better.

"Ultimately, we didn't want to lose a lot of the players, but for different reasons that had to happen."

AS Monaco ⁠CEO Thiago Scuro said Everton raised concerns over Balogun's medical late on deadline day and that the US international pulled out because he was uncomfortable with the doubts raised by the Merseyside club over his health.

"It wasn't anybody's fault. It happens in football a lot," Reuters quoted Moyes as saying. "The player had a problem in his medical and that was simply it. There's no other story behind it."

Everton's Fans' Forum also criticized the club's planning and recruitment after the transfer window closed, saying supporters deserved answers after another window marked by late activity and ⁠a failed pursuit ⁠of key targets.

With a thin squad, Moyes said Everton's academy players would have to step up but was unsure if they could fill the gaps.

"Are they ready to make the step up? I'm not sure about that. We will see how that goes, some of them might be pushed in," Moyes said.

"They're all going to have to be able to muck in as we've got a real small squad now," he added.

"It gives opportunities to some people who have not had them and sometimes in football you need to be given that chance so that you can show what you can do. Let's see if some of them can do that."

Liverpool has signed teenage forward Djylian N’Guessan from French side Saint-Etienne, the Premier League club said on Friday.

The 18-year-old is set to join Liverpool on a permanent deal in January, the club said.

Financial details were not given. Liverpool added that N’Guessan will play the rest of the season on loan at Brest in France’s Ligue 1, The Associated Press reported.

After going through Saint-Etienne’s academy, the forward made a senior debut in January 2025 and has played 13 matches, scoring one goal.

He played seven game for France at last year’s under-20 World Cup.

It's not clear what role he could have in the Liverpool squad.

During the summer transfer window, the club's signings have included Spain winger Victor Muñoz from Osasuna and a deal finalized on Monday worth 123 million pounds ($166 million) for Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain.
