Erling Haaland’s agent Rafaela Pimenta has issued a clear message over a release clause in his Etihad Stadium contract, speaking during an interview in Italy.
Ever since Man City signed Erling Haaland, there has been talk of Real Madrid buying him down the lines, with rumours and wild claims of a release clause somewhere in his contract.
Haaland’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta, has constantly been badgered about this by the media.
A while ago, the representative explained that Haaland could be worth £1bn one day, which led to a lot of headlines and articles being published.
Now the player’s agent has offered a fresh take on the subject of a release clause, clarifying previous comments that appeared to suggest the Norwegian international could one day command a staggering £1 billion transfer fee.
Speaking to Calciomercato, as translated and relayed by Sport Witness, Pimenta said, “After what I said, I read rumours that spoke of a £1 billion clause that Real Madrid would have set for a player.
“In any case, with Erling (Haaland), I wasn’t just referring to his price, but to everything that revolves around him: clubs, sponsors, jerseys. Certainly, Haaland’s path will reach these figures.”
Rafaela Pimenta continued on to the subject of a release clause for Erling Haaland at Manchester City – a topic of conversation that has been disputed and reported widely since his arrival at the club in the summer of 2022.
“As for the clause, it’s a way for clubs to say, ‘I decide’,” she explained. “However, I believe that if we want a peaceful future, we have to face one another.”
These Rafaela Pimenta’s comments were shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.
@xsehmx: “Why does she always talk so much? Haaland is happy in Manchester, she should stop making him move.”
@JPJoker01: “Does she ever shut up?”
@C80192134: “She talks too much.”
@CityJxck: “He needs a new agent.”
@xsehmx: “Why does she always talk so much? Haaland is happy in Manchester, she should stop making him move..”
@Ayush38054910: “Erling is all City. She better stop riding Real Madrid connection.”
@drackson_MCFC: “This agent stirs controversy about Erlings future every 2 weeks.”
@ACE_MCFC: “It’s not her fault that media are always pressuring her to say something that can let them manipulate her words for Madrid propaganda. To be fair, she’s done a good job and letting her words be very positive for Us.”
@Cyru5kd7: “Theres nothing wrong with what shes said. Her job is to put Haaland’s best interests first and not let the club dictate negotiations so obviously they’d want a release clause otherwise he’d be at city for the whole length of his contract. Agents work for the player not club.”
