Erling Haaland’s agent Rafaela Pimenta met on Wednesday with Barca’s sporting director Deco, according to ‘Jijantes’. The talks lasted around three hours and it is not known which names were put on the table, as in addition to the Norwegian, the agent has other players of interest such as Verratti, Mazraoui, De Ligt and Pogba.
Erling Haaland is contracted to Manchester City until June 2027, but that does not stop speculation about his future. His high level makes many people speculate about his next move.
His agent, Rafaela Pimenta, made it clear a few months ago that the player “will do what is right for him and for City”, as he is “the master of his destiny”. Meanwhile, the agent is looking for options for her clients, not only for the Norwegian striker.
‘Jijantes’ revealed that, on Wednesday, Rafaela Pimenta had a meeting with FC Barcelona. The Norwegian’s agent met with the ‘Cules’ sporting director Deco, for approximately 3 hours. The meeting took place in a restaurant in Barcelona, Sushi 99. They were in a private area, away from other diners.
Beyond Haaland, Rafaela Pimenta is the agent of players such as Verratti, Mazraoui, De Ligt and Pogba, to name a few. With the complicated situation that Barcelona are going through, it seems practically ruled out that the Norwegian’s destination could be the Camp Nou.
It is well known that the Catalan giants likes Haaland a lot. In fact, the Catalan side chief Joan Laporta, tried to sign him before he joined City. The former representative of the Cityzens striker Mino Raiola travelled to Barcelona to discuss his future with the president, but finally ended up at the Etihad Stadium.
