Manchester City striker Erling Haaland's agent, Rafaela Pimenta, has refuted claims of him leaving in the summer.

The Norway forward is being linked with a move away from the Citizens, as a buyout clause in his contract may become active at the end of the season.

However, Pimenta does not believe that speculation linking Haaland to Real Madrid is justified.

"Erling is the master of his destiny," Pimenta told Relevo.

"Not just now but his entire life and 100 per cent."

On a possible transfer, Pimenta continued: "What I mean is that you have to use balance. We, club and player. We are all in the same boat.

"Things have to be talked about, treated, in such a way that everyone is okay. Comfortable and satisfied with the experience, they live together.

"I think it is not necessary to say that Erling does what he wants. It is not true. Erling is always going to do what is good for him and for his club, Manchester City. When everyone is willing to make a change, it will be done.

"He's not the type of player who's going to say: 'I'm leaving, bye, I don't want to know anything'. It is not like this. And it's not going to happen because respect comes before everything. If they give it to him, he will give it too."
