Super-agent Rafaela Pimenta has peeled back the curtain on what it's really like to negotiate with Manchester City, and her assessment is nothing short of eye-opening. The Brazilian powerhouse, who represents both Erling Haaland and Phil Foden, described the Premier League champions as "very serious, very organised, very big" in a candid interview with SportsCenter Brasil.

Pimenta's remarks come hot on the heels of a major breakthrough: Foden's fresh four-year contract extension, which keeps the England star at his boyhood club until 2030. But don't expect any hardball tactics from City's side. According to Pimenta, the club operates from a position of such strength that it leaves agents with virtually no wiggle room.

"They know what they're doing, a lot of experience, they actually need nothing, they have everything," Pimenta explained, as relayed by Sport Witness. "So we have no room for negotiation." It's a stunning admission from someone widely considered the most powerful agent in world football. If anyone could push back at the negotiating table, it's Pimenta. Yet even she acknowledges City's infrastructure and self-sufficiency make them a uniquely formidable opponent.

This week's contract activity underscores City's strategic approach. With Foden locked in through 2030 and director of football Hugo Viana reportedly working on Josko Gvardiol's long-term extension, the club is building for sustained success. Pimenta's insight offers fans a rare glimpse behind the scenes—a reminder that City's dominance isn't just about what happens on the pitch, but the meticulous planning that happens off it.
