Erling Haaland has immediately made a tremendous impact for Manchester City after signing for Borussia Dortmund. He also helped the club win the treble last season. The on-field heroics of the Manchester City striker are also helping him earn big money off the field. Now, after his success, his super-agent Rafaela Pimenta predicts a fat bank account by the time he reaches the twilight years of his career. 

According to the Guardian, Rafaela Pimenta said, “I am not saying a transfer fee would reach this amount. I mean the whole package you generate throughout your career. Today you can play until 35. Think of the salary, transfer fees, broadcasting revenues, sponsors, ticket sales, and shirts. With a player like Erling it gets to one billion. The multiples in the gaming industry are huge. In the metaverse, maybe I sell a digital Erling Haaland for €2,000 to 100 million people in India, China, Brazil, and Mexico.”
