Manchester City have suffered four consecutive defeats in all competitions and the club will need to settle down quickly by renewing the contract of champion coach Pep Guardiola, which will also help keep the champions in the squad, such as Norwegian striker Erling Haaland.
According to the latest report from British media outlet The Sun, Manchester City are trying to persuade Haaland to sign a new contract until 2029. There is a lot of unanimity among the Manchester City hierarchy who are doing everything they can to keep Spanish coach Pep Guardiola, and if Guardiola signs a contract extension with Manchester City for at least one year, it will help Haaland sign a huge £100 million contract with the club. Haaland currently earns a whopping £375,000 a week, and with his current contract until 2027, the player already earns more than £20 million per season. If the Norwegian centre-forward renews his contract until 2029, Haaland could earn a whopping £100 million without bonuses for Manchester City.
According to the exclusive news of The Sun, Guardiola has agreed in principle to renew his contract with Manchester City for a period of 1+1 years, and if Manchester City is relegated due to 115 charges, Guardiola's new contract does not contain any termination clause. This means that if Manchester City is punished for relegation, there is no Premier League to play, and Guardiola will not leave during the contract period, which reassures Manchester City's key players and helps Haaland and other key players to complete the contract extension.
