Erling Haaland, Julian Alvarez, and Nathan Ake found the net, propelling Manchester City to a dominant 5-1 victory over Fulham at the Etihad on Saturday.

The Citizens have now accumulated a perfect twelve points from their opening four league matches, despite the absence of manager Pep Guardiola for the last two games due to his successful back surgery. Assistant coach Juanma Lillo has stepped in during Guardiola’s absence.

Striker Erling Haaland has continued his outstanding form this season, tallying six goals in just four league games.

Now, it appears that Haaland will remain a goal-scoring force for Manchester City in the years to come.

According to reports from the Daily Star, Manchester City is preparing to present Haaland with a substantial new contract offer. The report suggests that the club intends to double the wages of the Norwegian international to persuade him to extend his contract beyond its current expiration in 2027.

Haaland, who is 23 years old, joined Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund last summer for approximately £52 million after a remarkable season with the German club. He made an immediate impact under Guardiola, scoring 52 goals and providing nine assists across all competitions last season.

The Norwegian striker set a Premier League record by scoring 36 goals in 35 games during a single season, showcasing his world-class goal-scoring abilities. His exceptional performance played a pivotal role in Manchester City achieving a historic treble for the first time in the club’s history.

Reports suggest that Haaland could be offered a base weekly salary of £600,000, making him the highest-paid player in the English Premier League.
