While having a conversation with Relevo, Pimenta emphatically stated, ?Erling is the master of his own destiny, always. He will always do what?s good for him and for Man City.

Real Madrid?s plan for Haaland
Real Madrid?s pursuit of Erling Haaland is more of a strategy contingency plan. Madrid?s primary target remains Kylian Mbappe, who is embroiled in a complex contractual bond with PSG, making his acquisition a challenge for them. With the possibility of Mbappe becoming a free agent next summer, Los Blancos sees Erling Haaland as a viable alternative. It?ll be a backup plan, should the pursuit of the French star falter.
Despite Haaland?s agent quashing the rumors, fans and experts will be on the edge, anticipating the twists that the summer transfer window may bring. As Real Madrid looks to secure its future, the case with Mbappe and Haaland under their radar sounds fascinating. The commitment between Erling Haaland and Manchester City may seem unshakeable now, but in the unpredictable world of soccer, one can never be certain of what the future holds.
