On the morning of November 9, Real Madrid won 3-0 against Braga in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League. This result helped coach Carlo Ancelotti’s team win an early ticket to the round of 16 on a day when the Santiago Bernabeu stadium was filled with spectators.
Notably, among the audience present in the stands last night, there was a character who attracted special attention from the press. That is the representative of Man City superstar Erling Haaland, Ms. Rafaela Pimenta who flew to Madrid the day before.
Ms. Pimenta’s appearance sparked speculation about a meeting with Real Madrid in the context that this club is said to be interested in recruiting Erling Haaland. In 2021, Haaland’s late representative, Mino Raiola, also made a similar move when flying to Spain to “offer” to both Real and Barca.
“I was here with Maxwell and Esteban Granero. I did the same thing last year for Real vs Man City.
Discussion with president Florentino Pérez about Erling Haaland? No, no, no, no…” El Chiringuito quoted Haaland’s representative as saying.
But this answer does not seem to convince the Spanish press. Because before that, Ms. Rafaela Pimenta had hinted many times about the possibility of Haaland leaving Man City to join Real Madrid through a release clause.
Besides, Ms. Pimenta’s trip to Madrid also fell at an extremely sensitive time when the Spanish newspaper Cadena SER previously revealed that Real was no longer interested in Mbappe. However, this is still an official statement and it will help both Haaland and his representative avoid more or less trouble.
