Erling Haaland’s Agent Rejects Rumours of Barcelona Transfer Talks

Erling Haaland's agent, Rafaela Pimenta, has quashed all the rumors related to his client’s transfer from Manchester City to Barcelona. He said no such talks are taking place, as Haaland has recently renewed his contract to stay with the club until 2034.

"We have a lot of respect and admiration for Barcelona, but there hasn't been any contact whatsoever regarding a potential transfer. The player renewed his contract a few months ago, he's very happy at Manchester City.” said Erling Haaland's agent, Rafaela Pimenta.

He further said that everything is going well for Haaland at the City, so there is no need to start his transfer talks to Barcelona or any other club.

"Everything is going very well for him and we really have nothing to discuss about a transfer when everything is so good at City." added Rafaela Pimenta.

The rumors related to transfer emerged when Victor Font, a potential upcoming Barcelona President, claimed that he was negotiating a deal with Manchester City to bring Erling Haaland to Barcelona.

"Haaland is one of the best strikers in the world right now, no doubt. In the short-term he's not [a possible signing]. He signed a long-term deal last year, but I personally am convinced that these contracts of 10 years or whatever, it's difficult that they're fulfilled.” said Victor Font.

Font then said that Barcelona needs to be prepared to bring in Erling Haaland if the opportunity arises. He believes Haaland loves playing at Camp Nou, so it would be a good move to sign him as Barcelona’s striker for the upcoming season.

"So we have to be prepared for when players of this talent [become available]. He's spoken about his love of Spain. I remember Pep [Guardiola's] City playing here against Xavi [Hernández's] Barça and Erling saying he loved Camp Nou.” said Victor Font.
