Erling Haaland’s record hunt continues in his second season at Premier League heavyweight Manchester City. Nevertheless, there are always rumors of emigration surrounding the ex-BVB star. A transfer expert explains how likely a move to Real Madrid and Co. is.
Hardly a week goes by in Spain and England without new speculation about Erling Haaland’s future. It is repeatedly said that the Manchester City superstar has an exit clause in his contract, which runs until 2027, which allows him to move before the contract expires. Real Madrid are considered the top favorites for a signing.
The well-connected Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano does not believe that there is currently any truth to the rumors about the 23-year-old Norwegian’s quick departure from the Premier League. “There is currently nothing concrete regarding Erling Haaland,” wrote Romano in his column for the portal “CaughtOffside.”
The transfer insider judged that the interpretation of Haaland’s advisor Rafaela Pimenta’s statements alone fueled the whispers.
Erling Haaland “master of his own fate”
The Brazilian recently did not categorically rule out a change for Haaland in an interview with “Relevo”.
“Erling is the master of his own fate. Not just now, but throughout his entire life and 100 percent,” explained the player’s agent.
In this context, Pimenta spoke of a “balance” between agent, club and player. “We’re all in the same boat. You have to discuss things and deal with them in such a way that everyone is comfortable with it, that all parties feel comfortable and satisfied.”
Erling Haaland continues to hunt for records
Romano explained: “I personally think she gave normal answers to normal questions. Haaland doesn’t think about anything other than Man City and is fully focused on the current season. I don’t think Pimenta’s statements are evasive or difficult.”
Haaland scored his 50th goal in the 48th Premier League game in the 1-1 draw in the top game against Liverpool at the weekend – another incredible record for the former BVB star.
