Pep Guardiolawho will be 54 this Saturday, spoke yesterday, when asked by journalists, about the news of the day: the renewal of Erling Haaland’s contract with Manchester City until 2034, an unusual 10-year commitment in modern times football. The Catalan coach revealed that, when he found out the duration, he was surprised and couldn’t believe it.
“I said to Txiki Begiristain… ‘can you repeat it for me?’. He told me: ’10’. I then told him: ‘Are you sure?’ And he said, ‘Yes.’ So that’s good news.'” Haaland, 24, will earn around 600,000 euros a week, which is the longest contract ever signed by a player in a national competition.
Guardiola was asked if the length of the Norwegian’s contract was to guarantee that he would not leave his best years without the club receiving anything. “I don’t know the reason. I didn’t ask. I think what happened is that he feels that this is the best thing for him, for his career, to play for this club. As simple as that and, of course, he is a special player”.
