Erling Haaland reveals secret weapon behind return to form as he admits it’s getting ‘more and more difficult’

ERLING HAALAND’S dream of playing for one of the biggest clubs in Spain is a distant memory after signing a 9½-year deal with Manchester City. But the Norwegian forward will not lose any sleep over it. In fact, he is not losing any sleep over anything . . . after taking extra steps to ensure he gets the right amount of kip.

When he arrived in Manchester back in summer 2022, the feeling always was that Haaland would just be passing through. Despite being a boyhood City fan, he owns a house in Marbella so surely he would want to go and play for Real Madrid or Barcelona one day.

Yet after signing his mammoth £500,000-per-week deal, the 24-year-old admits that is no longer something he is thinking about. When asked if he was OK with putting that dream on the back-burner, Haaland said: “Yeah, I just signed a 9½-year deal, so what do you want me to say?.
“Of course I’m happy with that, I’m good with that and, yeah, as I said, I’m super happy with my choice. “I’m looking forward to spending many years in Manchester — and that’s really it.”. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS.

Haaland’s numbers may not be quite as incredible as they have been in the previous two seasons but he has still scored 22 times for City already this season. More importantly, he has been free of the injury problems which were such a feature of his early career and he has appeared in every Premier League and Champions League game so far this season.
