Deco Meets with Haaland’s Agents: Barcelona’s Director Sportif Discusses Reinforcements

Deco, impressed with Cubarsí, Holds Meeting with Haaland’s Agents

The ‘Jijantes’ captured the moment when Rafaela Pimenta and Maxwell entered the Via Veneto restaurant in the upscale area of Barcelona. Following their entrance, Deco arrived at a venue commonly used for meetings involving Barcelona executives, especially for President Joan Laporta.

Rafaela Pimenta, who worked alongside superagent Mino Raiola for many years and inherited his client portfolio after his passing on April 30, has Erling Haaland as her most prominent footballer. However, her roster includes several well-known players like Ibrahim Salah, Mazraoui, and Dolberg.

Haaland’s contract with Manchester City features a release clause that changed last summer when he extended his contract. Previously set at 200 million euros, the clause reduced to 175 million euros upon renewal, making him 25 million euros cheaper than a year ago.

Deco, speaking to Catalunya Ràdio after the meeting, addressed the challenges in the club’s economic situation but emphasized the goal to strengthen the team for the upcoming season.

In a recent interview, Rafaela Pimenta responded to questions about her relationship with Barcelona and Mino Raiola, saying, “Yes, me too! (laughs). I always say that Laporta can’t ask me for anything in football; it’s not fair because he knows I will say ‘YES.'”
