However, hopes faded as quickly as they appeared, since Rafaela Pimenta, agent of the [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/manchester-city/Wtn9Stg0/"]Manchester City[/a] striker, has denied any contact.[/p][p][b]"I’ve said many times that we have a lot of respect for Barcelona, a lot of admiration, but there has been no contact - neither with Erling Haaland nor with his management - from FC Barcelona regarding a transfer,"[/b] the renowned Portuguese agent stated in an exclusive interview with [i]El Chiringuito[/i].[/p][p][b]"Also, the player renewed his contract just a few months ago, he’s very happy at Manchester City, everything is going well, and honestly, we have nothing to discuss about a transfer when the situation at Manchester City is so positive,"[/b] she concluded.[/p][image alt="Haaland's xG map in the ongoing Premier League season" id="5b49fc15-e809-4e18-9679-feb5073be414" credit-line="Opta by StatsPerform" guid="c2150b28-8308-42b2-900b-511c5c409542" original-width="768" original-height="576" /][p][b][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/haaland-erling/UmV9iQmE/"]Follow Haaland more closely than ever with Flashscore![/a][/b][/p]
