Haaland’s buy-out clause? Yes, there is, his agent confirmed, and she also revealed how much of the precious gem is in his hands
Ever since Erling Haaland joined Manchester City there has been speculation about the size of his buyout clause and if and when he will head to Real Madrid. However, all those who could say anything about this are silent and the Norwegian striker himself has been scoring one goal after another so far. But the ice has now been broken by his agent Rafaela Pimenta.
Ever since Erling Haaland joined Manchester City there has been speculation about the size of his buyout clause and if and when he will head to Real Madrid. However, all those who could say anything about this are silent and the Norwegian striker himself has been scoring one goal after another so far. But the ice has now been broken by his agent Rafaela Pimenta.
Haaland’s opening game in the Premier League? Two goals. The opening game of this year’s Champions League? Two goals. In total, the 22-year-old robocop has already scored 20 this season, adding three more assists.
He’s only come up empty twice since the start of the league season, against Bournemouth. The last time was against Liverpool, where the Citizens lost 0:1 and Arsenal lost by 4 points.
At the Etihad Stadium, the Norwegian striker has signed a contract until 2027, with a €200 million buyout clause activated in 2024, according to his agent.
This, of course, plays into the speculation that Karim Benzema’s contract expires at the same time, so it is no wonder that many are convinced that the Leeds native will subsequently move to the Spanish capital.
This is also helped by the words of his father Alf-Inge, who once spoke out to the effect that his son was going to look into more European leagues.
When Haaland’s agent was asked in an interview with Sky Sports if the Norwegian striker was open to discussing a new contract, she replied. Why not. Everything is good.”
How does he see his client’s value then? “If you put together his football and sponsorship value, we are talking about one billion.”
Haaland can raise interest in his person as early as Saturday afternoon when Manchester City play Brighton. And then on Tuesday he and Manuel Akanji will return to Dortmund for the Champions League match.
