The lengthy contract is one of the most lucrative in sport history and will run until 2034, report The Athletic.
Any release clause from his previous deal have been removed, so it would take an astronomical bid to lure him away from the Etihad.
Haaland, 24, is set for a bumper increase on his £375,000-a-week salary.
SunSport revealed his new contract would be worth £500,000-a-week, which means his total earnings across the deal will be £247million, or £500,000-a-week.
City have been keen to tie down their star man amid speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid.
