Pep Guardiola, the head coach of Manchester City, admitted that he was shocked by the agreement with his star from Norway, Erling Haaland, to extend his contract until 2034.
"This was a genuine surprise for me. I am happy and pleased that Erling decided to stay with us for such a long term," Guardiola shared his thoughts.
Haaland, who joined Manchester City in February 2022, made a vivid impression with his game and quickly became a key player for the team. His agreement for long-term cooperation was a pleasant surprise for the club and fans.
"I respect his decision and am confident that with his help our team will achieve new heights," Guardiola added.
Haaland responded to the coach's words with gratitude and stated that he feels part of a bigger family at Manchester City.
