Erling Haaland has signed an extraordinary nine-and-a-half-year contract at Manchester City but what do we know about the finances of the deal?

The agreement takes Haaland up to 2034 at the Etihad Stadium, making it the longest contract in the Premier League and putting paid to long-standing links with Real Madrid.

Here, we run through some of the key questions surrounding the deal and what it means for Manchester City's rebuild - amid the looming 115 charges for alleged financial breaches - with help from Sky Sports News reporter Ben Ransom.

How have Man City pulled off this deal?

What a signing for Manchester City. It's absolutely titanic.

This is a deal that has taken some time to put together. I'm told there have been months and months of negotiations between outgoing director of football Txiki Begiristain, helped by the incoming Hugo Viana and Manchester City's executives, and Haaland and his team.
