Erling Haaland’s agent has said that the Manchester City striker’s value could be worth as much as £883m just six months after the forward signed for the Premier League giants.
Speaking to AS, Rafaela Pimenta claimed that the 22-year-old superstar could be worth almost four times what PSG paid to sign Neymar back in 2017, with the French giants triggering the Brazilian’s £200m release clause to bring the winger to Ligue 1 from FC Barcelona.
With Chelsea taking spending to a whole new level this January by spending over £300m on new players, finances in football are reaching a breaking point that could one day see Neymar’s world-record transfer fee be obliterated. And Haaland could be the player who does just that.
Pimenta said when asked about Haaland’s value in the current market: “The biggest is Neymar’s €222m (£200m). But of course, numbers change, and for me, Haaland is worth €1bn (£883m). Maybe nobody is going to pay that, but it is the potential that he has when he arrives at a club.”
The City star has been in record-breaking form for the Manchester giants ever since signing for the club this summer from Borussia Dortmund, with Haaland scoring 31 goals in all competitions and matching last season’s Premier League golden boot record before the halfway point.
Indeed, whilst Haaland could one day leave City for a world-record transfer fee, it is unlikely that the Norwegian international will cost as much as £883m, a figure that feels almost too ridiculous to even comprehend in regards to a singular football player.
Haaland’s skyrocketing value could result in game-changing transfer
Haaland’s form in the Premier League continues to shock everyone, with the attacker seemingly breaking a new record with each passing week and in the process adding more and more to his overall value. And as a result, the forward could easily break football with a transfer away from City.
As we know, the striker is likely to move on from Manchester in the coming years, and whilst Premier League clubs hold all the wealth, an FC Barcelona or Real Madrid could easily break Neymar’s £200m transfer record to secure Haaland’s signature.
