Erling Haaland is currently shaking up the Premier League. His advisor Rafaela Pimenta has now explained that the City striker is worth one billion euros.
Manchester – Astronomical assessment! Erling Haaland (22) is currently stirring up the Premier League and hurrying from one record to the next. His advisor even believes that he could be the first player ever to break a gigantic transfer fee mark.

In an interview with the French TV station TF1, Rafaela Pimenta said: “Erling Haaland is worth one billion euros. That’s not an estimate, that’s for sure.”
“Many may now say that I’m being ridiculous and no club will ever pay a billion. But his age, quality, development and behavior are the reason why I’m talking about the billion,” the Brazilian lawyer justified her evaluation.
Manchester City’s Norwegian super clipper is also “a down-to-earth guy” who “does not take himself too seriously” and is therefore as unbeatable as it is valuable as a whole.

The agent and successor to star consultant Mino Raiola (†54), who died last year, should know, after all, she took over her former colleague’s well-known client list and also looks after other world-class players such as Bayern defender Matthijs de Ligt (23), Paul Pogba (29) and Gianluigi Donnarumma (23).
Before that, according to one HE DOES-Report for nearly 20 years as Raiola’s right-hand man and puppeteer in the background.

While her more extroverted predecessor drew most of the attention, the law professor bagged lucrative deals and preferred to remain hidden even after the Italian’s death.
Sports website The Athletic even quoted a PL manager as saying in June 2022: “She’s the most important person in football that nobody knows.” In addition, Pimenta is “the toughest negotiator in the business”.
She already played a key role in Haaland’s move from BVB to the “Skyblues” from Manchester and finalized the transfer.

Her protégé thanked her with an outstanding season in the English upper house and 26 goals in just 23 league games. The 22-year-old attacker has already passed the two top scorers of the past year.
Mohamed Salah (30) and Heung-min Son (30) only played 23 stalls after 38 match days in 2021/22. The league record of the Egyptian Liverpool star, who netted a proud 32 times in 2017/18, is also shaky.

Although the “breaker with the baby face” has only just ended up with the Citizens and has a working paper there that is valid until 2027, Haaland has been repeatedly associated with Real Madrid in the past, which somehow still gets him into the game, at least in the long term Spanish capital want to lure.
However, it is doubtful whether the royals would actually be willing to advance into previously unimagined transfer regions, given the already enormous debt burden of the top club.
It would be by far the most expensive change in the history of football – insofar as City shares Pimenta’s assessment and is willing to sell.
Brazilian superstar Neymar (31) currently holds the record with his 2017 transfer from FC Barcelona to PSG for a whopping 222 million euros.
