- Pimenta suggested Haaland may sign new contract
- Revealed nothing regarding release clause
- Believes the forward could be worth £1 billion
WHAT HAPPENED? Haaland's new agent has suggested the Norwegian would be interested in signing a new contract with City, despite only signing for the club this summer. She was also gave little away in regard to a possible release clause in the 22-year-olds contract allowing him to leave the club in 2024.
WHAT SHE SAID: When asked whether Haaland would be open to a new contract, Pimenta told Sky Sports: "I hope so, if they want to discuss today we would be happy. Why not? All is good."
She also shrugged off questioning regarding a release clause, or lack of one, that could allow Haaland to leave the club after just two years. Pimenta said: "The good and bad of being a lawyer is that you know what you can and cannot say. You do not need someone poking you going: 'don't say this.' I cannot talk about."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Haaland's transfer fee of £51 million may be seen as minuscule in comparison to what Pimenta believes he could worth. She suggested the Norwegian talisman could be worth £1 billion in the future. She said: "That is what I think because if you put together his football value, his image value, his sponsor value it is for sure £1bn."
