Haaland’s agent: Real Madrid? If both sides are open to change, it will happen

Erling Haaland is already being linked with another exit after just a year and a half at Manchester City. And to an even more lucrative address, as Real Madrid are interested. The speculation has been fuelled by the player’s agent Rafaela Pimenta.

Sportingly, Erling Haaland doesn’t have much room to move on, Manchester City is probably the best club in the world at the moment, dominating the Premier League for many years and finally conquering the Champions League.

But club-wise and marketing-wise, Haaland can still rise. Real Madrid, after all, is a world away from Manchester City in history, glory and greatness. It has many times more fans worldwide than the Citizens and there is another factor.

The Ballon d’Or is always better won from Real Madrid or Barcelona. The last 15 editions have only been dominated by players from the two biggest clubs in the world (Ronaldo, Messi, Modric, Benzema) until the last one Messi won from PSG.

And Haaland has made no secret of the fact that he was already in talks with Real when he left Dortmund. But at that moment Benzema was in the form of his life and the striker’s father thus stated in a documentary about his son that he was the main and practically the only reason why Erling did not end up in the Spanish capital.

In the same documentary, Haaland then replied eloquently when asked if you can turn down Real Madrid: ” You can’t.”

Going to Real Madrid?

In addition, the Spanish media has come out with the information that Haaland’s buyout clause, which favours Real Madrid, will come into play in 2024. Indeed, according to them, the Spanish big club would pay 200 million euros and have priority rights to Haaland and the Citizens could do nothing about it.

Moreover, all indications are that Real Madrid have not brought in any top striker after the end of Benzema, leaving a vacancy for Haaland in the starting line-up, which was his demand when he left Dortmund.

Moreover, the speculation was once again supported by Haaland’s agent Rafaela Pimenta, who took over the agenda from the late Mino Raiola.

“Transfer to Real Madrid? Erling is the boss of his destiny. Always. He will do what is good for him and Manchester City. If everyone is open to change, it will happen. Erling will always have respect for the club,” Pimenta told Spanish newspaper Relevo.

She also commented on whether he is happy in Manchester. “You should ask him… I’m not saying the opposite, I know how it is, but I don’t speak for others. I see it clearly: great sporting results come when you are happy,” Haaland’s agent added.
