From quirky diets and raps to secret baby and THAT obsession with Hannah Montana – inside weird world of Erling Haaland
Share:
A goal machine with the flowing blond locks of his Viking heritage, Erling Haaland likes to tell rivals to “stay humble”. Now — after landing a deal that dwarfs anything seen before in British football — he may need to heed the advice himself. That’s because the attention that comes with such a huge contract will propel Haaland, 24, and his 21-year-old partner Isabel Haugseng Johansen into fame’s premier league.

A source close to the couple said: “They are going to be a bigger than the Beckhams. They will be the wealthiest, most famous couple in the world of football.”. Backed by Abu Dhabi petro dollars, Manchester City have signed Haaland on a new reported £500,000 a week, nine-and-a-half-year deal.

Pre-tax, that’s £260million before his lucrative endorsements and win bonuses are factored in. That’s around £71,000 a day, nearly £3,000 an hour and 83p per second. The minimum wage for ordinary folk rises to £12.21 an hour in April. Haaland earns that in 15 seconds.

It takes Haaland six seconds to earn the cost of a pint and just under two and half days to make enough to afford a new Ferrari Portofino M Convertible. City are said to have backdated the deal to the start of the season which means Haaland will pocket £3.25million in wages he is owed since then.
Tellingly, the striker said yesterday: “Now I am City no matter what.”. For the Manchester club still awaits the verdict after being charged with 115 breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules. Possible sanctions include a points deduction or even relegation from England’s top division.
