Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is now worth €1 billion, his agent has claimed.
Haaland moved to City in the summer from Borussia Dortmund and has has scored 32 goals across 31 matches in all competitions and his 26 league goals put the 22-year-old eight goals away from Alan Shearer and Andy Cole’s record of 34 goals in a single Premier League campaign – achieved in a 42-match season when there were 22 teams in the English top flight.
The Norwegian is still only 22 years old and is expected to get even better in the coming seasons, although not many clubs would be able to afford him if he were up for sale.
Haaland is almost certain to break this record and more, and his agent, Rafaela Pimenta, now believes the Man City superstar is worth €1billion.
Speaking to Telefoot, she said about her client: “Erling Haaland is now worth €1billion. That’s not a guess, I’m sure of it.”
“They might say I’m being ridiculous, that a club is not going to pay a billion, but his age, his quality, his progression and the way he behaves is why I talk about a billion. The future is unknown but it’s coming.”

Haaland has a contract with Man City until 2027 but it is uncertain how long he will really spend at City. The striker will continue to develop and grow as a player and that is a scary thought for defenders as the Norway international is not even in his prime yet.
