Erling Haaland agent sends Man City transfer warning over 'mystery' clause

Erling Haaland's agent insisted that the player is happy in Manchester City but suggested a deal will be done once that is no longer the case.

Haaland chose City ahead of Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona last summer after his team calculated that it was worth the physical risk of the intensity of the Premier League to star in a side that was crying out for his talents. The Norwegian signed a five-year deal, although it is thought that there is at least one release clause that could see him leave sooner and his father has made no secret of the ambitions of his son to play across Europe.

Rafaela Pimenta, Haaland's agent, refused to confirm or deny the existence of any clause - "because the mystery is always interesting, It’s always sexier, isn’t it?" - and after sidestepping a question about the player joining Real Madrid she joked that she cannot say no to Barcelona president Joan Laporta. And while she pointed out that Haaland is committed to City, the super-agent referenced her ability to make moves happen when situations change.
