The future of Erling Haaland has been the subject of much discussion in recent days. In Spain, it is said that the striker pleases Real Madrid more and more. Besides, his agent was in the Iberian capital next week. But Manchester City assured that the Norwegian would stay in England for many years. This Tuesday, there is still talk of the future of the 23-year-old player. Asked by The GuardianRafaela Pimenta, his agent, spoke about his collaboration with the striker. “I like dealing with the Haalands because they expect professionalism and they communicate clearly. It doesn’t matter if you are a man or a woman. They listen to you. It’s very refreshing.” She continues: “he is incredible with his feet on the ground. He is very aware of who he is and what he represents. He has no illusions. I have never seen in him these negative changes that fame and fortune bring. He’s only 23 but he’s so mature, so deep, so calm. And he loves to eat!”
The former associate of Mino Raiola then discussed her project with the City superstar, who she believes can become the first player to earn £1 billion (€1.14 billion). “I’m not saying the transfer fee would reach that amount. I want to talk about the whole package that you generate throughout your career. Today you can play up to 35 years old. You have to think about salary, transfer fees, broadcast income, sponsors, ticket sales, jerseys. With a player like Erling, that climbs to a billion. Revenues in the video game industry are enormous. In the metaverse, maybe I sell a digital Erling Haaland for €2,000 to 100 million people in India, China, Brazil, Mexico. Perhaps one day we will reach the moment when we experience a football match with glasses, which will trigger the same emotions as if I were there. You really go 3D with the virtual experience. So maybe we will sell the football experience, not only to broadcasters but also to individuals who can never afford or find a ticket to the Bernabéu or the Etihad. They can experience the game (on the metaverse) as if they were there. So when I say a billion, I’m using multipliers beyond the physical.” A way to show Real Madrid that the Norwegian would be a good investment…
