Rafaela Pimenta, renowned for being the agent that manages Erling Haaland has said he would never force his way out of Manchester City.
In an interview with Relevo, she was quizzed about his future, with Haaland contracted to the Sky Blues until 2027.
Since signing for Manchester City, Erling Haaland has become one of the best players in the world, with Pep Guardiola recently describing him as “incredible.”
Agent Rafaela Pimenta says Erling Haaland will never force his way out of Manchester City
In his debut campaign at City, the 23-year-old spearheaded his side to winning a historic treble, while scoring 52 goals in 53 games in all competitions.
But ever since the Leeds-born striker has joined the English giants, there have been question marks about whether he will stay at the club until the entirety of his prime years.
Super-agent Rafaela Pimenta told Relevo that if Erling Haaland does decide to bid farewell to Pep Guardiola and Manchester City, he will do so in an amicable manner.
“Erling is the master of his destiny. Not just now but his entire life and 100%”, she opened.
“What I mean is that you have to use balance. We, club and player. We are all in the same boat. Things have to be talked about, treated, in such a way that everyone is okay. Comfortable and satisfied with the experience they live together. I think it is not necessary to say that Erling does what he wants. [It] Is not true. Erling is always going to do what is good for him and for his club, Manchester City. When everyone is willing to make a change, it will be done.”
“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.”
Rafaela Pimenta concluded by saying that she believes that not just Erling Haaland but even Manchester City would act with a sense of “respect” if he has a desire to leave.
“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 upon. Because there is respect for understanding the other’s position. Discuss and reach a conclusion. Solutions will always be found.”
No mention of Erling Haaland leaving anytime soon
While Manchester City fans worldwide are likely to be worried upon hearing this revelation, super-agent Rafaela Pimenta has not said even once that Erling Haaland intends to leave the club.
Finishing second behind Lionel Messi in the Ballon d’Or race this year and having won the treble at City, the world is at the Norwegian’s feet.
Haaland could potentially explore his options in the future but that is the case with every player in the world.
As things stand, Manchester City are sitting at the top of club football and at least until Pep Guardiola’s time in charge, one foresees them maintaining their reign at the summit.
