Manchester City pulled off the highly-coveted signing of Norwegian superstar striker Erling Haaland earlier this week, landing him from Borussia Dortmund. Some details about Haaland's new deal with the Manchester club have been revealed. According to BILD, via Manuel Veth, the German outlet indicates that Haaland's new contract with Manchester City will feature a release clause that will become active after two seasons. The value of the release clause is a staggering $156 million (€150 million), so it'll cost any team a handsome fee in order to poach him from the Premier League giants.

This is certainly an interesting tidbit, especially for teams that could be interested in trying to sign Haaland a few years down the line after missing out on him this summer. Real Madrid, Barcelona, and PSG are all teams that could reasonably look to activate his release clause at that price, and you can bet your bottom dollar that they'll be closely monitoring the situation.

Haaland, who is just 21 years old, could potentially be on the move again by the time he's 24. Already considered one of the brightest young talents in the sport, there's no telling how much he'll improve during his two seasons at Manchester City. When push comes to shove, that €150 million release clause could end up looking rather small (at least for the big spenders) if he lives up to the hype in the Premier League.

Of course, if Manchester City is able to achieve its goal of winning the Champions League with Haaland in its ranks, perhaps the Norwegian superstar will be convinced to stay at the club long-term. After all, a major reason he chose to join City was to play under legendary head coach Pep Guardiola. Regardless, the reported inclusion of an exit clause in his contract will surely make things interesting down the line
