Agent: Sky's the limit for Man City striker Haaland; but his €180M buyout clause?

The agent of Erling Haaland says the sky's the limit for the Manchester City striker.

Rafaela Pimenta has been in Spain this week, where Real Madrid have been linked with the Norwegian.

Pimenta told Mundo Deportivo: "He can play wherever he wants. You've never seen a player like this. For me, his qualities and ability to evolve are impressive. He's capable to adapt quickly to a new club, a new team, a new coach... It's as if he's always been there, it's something that gives him a lot of peace of mind.

"Today he's in the right place, in the right team and with the right coach. In Brazil we say that only the sky is the limit, I think he will break all records.

"You already admired him in Spain last week (at the Santiago Bernabéu, in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final between Manchester City and Real Madrid)... Then, on vacation, maybe he'll go to Marbella, it's a place he likes..."

Asked about his claimed €180m buyout clause, Pimenta said: "It's the great mystery of this story, it's like a treasure hunt. As a lawyer I can't reveal the contracts."

And on a rivalry with PSG star Kylian Mbappé, Pimenta added: "I think it's a great thing for football. After everything Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have done for the sport, it's good that now and in the years to come this can happen between Haaland and Mbappe. It's good for football, for them, for the fans... for everyone. I see this rivalry in a healthy way. As long as there's respect...".
