Man City star close to signing new deal but rivals could be encouraged by one contract detail

Erling Haaland is close to signing a new contract with Manchester City, but it might contain a release clause according to reports.

The Norway international, who has won the Golden Boot in each of his two seasons in the Premier League has made an unbelievable start to the season.

Haaland has scored seven goals in the first three Premier League games of the season.

Marca also adds that the new deal is expected to have a release clause which they state should be “achievable” for Real Madrid in the future.

A release clause would certainly allow Haaland to have more control over the direction of his career, with City activating the release clause in his Dortmund deal to bring him to the Etihad Stadium.
