Erling Haaland is reportedly on the verge of agreeing to a lucrative contract extension with Manchester City, although the agreement is likely to include a release clause.

With seven goals in Man City’s first three games of the current Premier League season, Haaland has had an incredible start to the campaign.

The forward headed into the international break with Norway off the back of scoring consecutive Premier League hat-tricks against Ipswich and West Ham.

According to the Spanish publication Marca, Haaland is anticipated to sign a new deal with the Premier League winners shortly in order to pledge his future to them.

His existing deal is due to expire in the summer of 2027.
