He wants to earn more. His signing has already paid for itself and the plan proposed by his agent Rafaela Pimenta is to extend the Norwegian’s contract with City to reduce the annual repayment costs and increase the player’s salary without there being any difference in the cost of the player within the spending cap. He is the talisman of the team; if Haaland scores, City win. 

Haaland, exit clause renewal to Real Madrid or Barça. Laporta dreams of making a splash in election year, looking to replace Lewandowski when his contract expires with Erling Haaland in an effort to repeat the Messi – Cristiano duel, but this time with Mbappé vs Haaland and Vinicius vs Lamine Yamal. This would once again put Barça in the media spotlight and global sponsors would return in their droves. Barça's economic recovery depends on Haaland. 

Haaland wants to be the best-paid player in the team, an honour currently held by Kevin De Bruyne. The Belgian is on €2 million a month, which is exactly what the Norwegian is demanding after three years under Guardiola. The key is the termination clause, as he wants to have a non-negotiable price for leaving.
