Amid the ongoing legal proceedings regarding Manchester City’s alleged violations of 115 Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations, the club continues to focus on securing the futures of its key players, including their star striker Erling Haaland.

Manchester City and Haaland are reported to be in talks over a new contract, but the football player wants a special provision in the contract.

According to TEAMtalk, Haaland is open to extending his contract with “The Citizens”, but the Norwegian has one condition that the club finds problematic.

Haaland is set to sign a new contract with Manchester City, but he wants a £100m release clause added. Manchester City, however, believes the striker is worth much more and is reluctant to agree to such a clause. Additionally, Barcelona keeping close tabs on his ongoing situation.

The Premier League champions would want any release clause to be ‘much higher’, as they know that they would almost certainly lose Erling Haaland with a number of clubs willing to meet the aforementioned fee.

Despite Erling Haaland’s current contract at Manchester City running until the summer of 2027, Pep Guardiola and his team within the club’s hierarchy are keen to tie him down to a long-term contract as soon as possible.

The Norway international is once again producing a stellar season to date as he enters into his third campaign with the Etihad Stadium club, having recorded 11 goals in his opening appearances for the club by early October.

Erling Haaland recently scored his 100th goal for Manchester City across all competitions, equalling a record set by Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid to become the joint-fastest player to reach a century by doing so in 105 appearances.
