Today, Athletic Bilbao announced that it would renew its contract with 22-year-old Nico Williams for 10 years, and the termination fee will increase by 50% by 2035.
At the beginning of this year, Manchester City also announced a 10-year contract extension with Haaland. By 2034, it is reported that its weekly salary will be increased to 525,000 pounds, and will come with an annual bonus (or signature fee) of 18.2 million pounds.
Does this mean that football has entered the era of renewal of contracts for 10 years? Chelsea had signed a long contract for 7-8 years, but now it seems that it is no longer the limit.
