After having chased after a striker for a long time since the departure of Sergio Agüero, Manchester City have found the ideal rookie: Erling Haaland. Recruited in exchange for less than €100m, the Norwegian international (25 caps, 24 goals) is doing wonders under Pep Guardiola. Winner of the historic treble last season, Haaland has an exceptional record in the sky blue jersey.
With 55 goals and 9 assists in 58 matches in all competitions, the Scandinavian impressed. Declared candidate for the Ballon d’Or, the former BVB resident was elected UEFA best player of the year yesterday. A reward obtained in Monaco, just after the draw for the group stage of the Champions League. On this occasion, the international media came en masse. Present at the ceremony, the agent of the day, Rafaela Pimenta was arrested by a journalist from Chiringuitos.
Pimienta kicks into touch
And unsurprisingly, it talked about a possible move to Real Madrid. “I think everyone talks a lot. It’s too early. It doesn’t seem very elegant to me to talk about a club when your player plays for another team. » Relaunched on the subject, Pimenta confirmed that his protégés were free to choose the trajectory they wanted to give to their career. Enough to allow the journalist of the show to insist on a possibility of seeing Haaland land in Spain in a year.
“That would be talking about a contract and as a lawyer, I can’t do that. Leaving the door open can mean a lot of things. The most important thing is that our players feel like they have their destiny in their hands. Its very important. » A rather evasive answer. And when the journalist tried to ask him if the Norwegian was ready to discover a new championship, again the answer was made. “You have to ask him”. Patience.
