Erling Haaland's sensational season in front of goal during his debut season in the Premier League has inspired Manchester City to cancel a release clause originally inserted into his deal.
However, this latest update does mean the plans laid bare by the striker's father Alf-Inge a few years ago will have to be altered. The contract Haaland signed upon his arrival at City last summer included a £150million release clause, but 32 Premier League goals later and Pep Guardiola's side want to make sure the Norwegian is kept at the Etihad for as long as possible.
Initially, the release clause would have become active in the summer of 2024. However, it will now be scrapped entirely, such is City's desperation to keep their hands on Haaland.
