Erling Haaland's Agent Clears the Air on Striker's Manchester City Future

• Erling Haaland’s agent recently opened up about the Norwegian’s future
• Haaland has been linked with Real Madrid in recent months
• According to Rafaela Pimenta, Haaland is ‘a master of his destiny’

Erling Haaland’s agent Rafaela Pimenta recently has quelled rumours that the striker could leave Manchester City in the near future.

The Norwegian joined Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund in July 2022, and has taken the Premier League by storm in his first season, netting 52 goals in 53 appearances.

His form has carried on to the new season, where he already has 17 goals, which has led to speculation over his future again.

Real Madrid has been the club that has been linked with the striker the most, especially after the club’s latest failure to land Kylian Mbappe,

Despite growing speculation and links to Real Madrid, Pimenta insists the Norwegian would only leave Manchester City “when the time is right”.

"Erling is the master of his destiny," She told Relevo. "Not just now but his entire life and 100 per cent."

Pimenta was then asked whether her statement meant Haaland would choose where he wanted to play next season.

While she did not necessarily rule out a move, the super agent, who replaced the late Mino Raiola as Haaland’s agent, was clear the 23-year-old was not leaving Manchester City anytime soon.

"He's not the type of player who's going to say: 'I'm leaving, bye, I don't want to know anything'. It is not like this. And it's not going to happen because respect comes before everything. If they give it to him, he will give it too."

Haaland’s Man City contract

According to Sportsmole, Manchester City are considering opening discussions with Haaland over a new contract, although he still has four years on his current deal.

Real Madrid view the striker as the perfect alternative to Mbappe, whose drama with the Spanish club is set to ignite once again next summer when the Frenchman’s contract at Paris Saint Germain runs out.

Still on transfer gossip, Sports Brief reported on the current state of the Kylian Mbappe saga, with Real Madrid poised to sign the Frenchman.

According to Spanish outlet Diario AS, PSG will not give the French superstar a new deal, which opens a path for Real Madrid to sign him next summer.

However, the French giants want the World Cup winner to stay as they intend to build a short-term project around him.
