The Manchester City striker has previously been linked with a future transfer to Real Madrid.

Erling Haaland’s agent has said the star striker is happy as a Manchester City player, but hinted he could open to a move away from the club in the future.

Despite joining City less than 18 months ago from Borussia Dortmund, the player’s transfer situation has come under the microscope on several occasions, and he has been linked with a future transfer to Real Madrid, as well as suggestions that a buy-out clause had been inserted in the player’s contract.

Rafaela Pimienta, Haaland’s agent, said only she, Haaland, his father and City know the details of the Norwegian’s terms, and implied that the player and club would find a solution if Haaland one day wished to leave the reigning European champions.

“You have to use balance, Pimienta told Relevo. “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. 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.”

Asked whether City would let Haaland leave, Pimienta replied: “Respect comes from both sides. I have no doubt that they will respect it too. If one day something has to happen, everything will be agreed upon because there is respect for understanding the other's position. Discuss and reach a conclusion. Solutions will always be found.”
