Erling Haaland returned to scoring ways in [Manchester City’s](https://technosports.co.in/2022/10/18/manchester-city-winning-club-of-yr/) 3-1 win against Brighton at the Etihad Stadium. The Norwegian netted a brace to take his tally to 22 for the current season, and [17 in the Premier League so far. ](https://twitter.com/ODDSbible/status/1583837960860241920?s=20&t=zMAjN1rZHYcypMTHXzRzUQ)

Sky Sports recently interviewed his new agent, Rafaela Pimenta, who was appointed following the demise of Mino Raiola. There were several topics that Pimenta discussed, including the existence of a release clause in the player’s contract.

Spanish clubs in particular have made a habit of putting a €1 billion release clause on their most important players. And Pimenta has said that her client could easily be worth that amount: “That is what I think because if you put together his football value, his image value, his sponsor value it is for sure £1bn,” she said. 

However, she denied the existence of a release clause in Erling Haaland’s Manchester City contract.

“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.”

But the door is open for City to negotiate a new contract even though the player has only recently began his journey with the Sky Blues: “I hope so, if they want to discuss today we would be happy. Why not? All is good.”
