Linked to Manchester City until 2027, Erling Haaland continues to fuel transfer rumors. In Spain, the Madrid dailies assure that Real Madrid are targeting Kylian Mbappé, but that the Norwegian still pleases Florentino Pérez. But on paper, it seems very complicated to be able to dislodge the Scandinavian from the northwest of England.
Haaland plays for the reigning European champions, in the most complete team in Europe, and displays exceptional statistics (69 goals, 11 assists in 71 matches, all competitions combined). And yet. Between Merengue interest and this famous secret clause in his contract (the player would have a release clause of €200 million valid from 2024 for clubs outside the Premier League), Haaland has caused a lot of ink to flow.
### “When everyone is ready for change, it will happen”
And this is not the last interview granted by his agent, Rafaela Pimenta, to Relevo which will calm things down. “Erling’s contract is known to Manchester City, his father, himself and myself. » We won’t know more, but the teasing works. Just like this other statement about the possibility of Haaland one day leaving Manchester City to join another club.
“What I mean is we have to have balance. Us, the club and the player. We are all in this together. Things need to be discussed, handled, in a way that makes everyone feel comfortable, comfortable and satisfied with the experience together. I don’t think it’s accurate to say that Erling does what he wants. This is not true. Erling will always do what is right for himself and his club, Manchester City. When everyone is ready for a change, it will happen. He’s not the type of player who will say: “I’m leaving, goodbye, I don’t want to know anything”. He’s not like that. And that won’t happen because respect comes first. If they give him some, he will give some too. Respect comes from both sides. I have no doubt that they will respect it too. If one day something has to happen, everything will be agreed because there is respect. Solutions will always be found. » And you don’t have to be a soothsayer to predict that these words will find a strong echo on the other side of the Pyrenees.
