Throughout his initial season at Manchester, Haaland also set a new record for the most goals scored in a single Premier League season (36).
While the Norwegian striker may not have achieved the same scoring numbers in the following season, he still secured the Golden Boot and led the league in goals again.
Supporting him through this impressive career is his girlfriend, Isabel Haugseng Johansen.
Who is Isabel Haugseng Johansen, Erling Haaland’s girlfriend?
Haaland was recently spotted with girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen in the West End of London.
The couple is not often seen together publicly, but there is a solid explanation for this.
Isabel, aged 20, is a footballer too – this is how the two first met.
Haaland joined the Bryne youth football club when he was only five years old.
He spent over ten years at the Norwegian club before moving to Molde.
The Leeds-born Haaland then moved to RB Salzburg, Borussia Dortmund, and ultimately Manchester City following a remarkable start to his senior career.
It was at Bryne that he met Isabel, who also holds a part-time job in a fashion store.
They grew up together within the club’s academy and are thought to have started dating while he was at Dortmund.
A source informed The Sun: “Their relationship seems quite serious.
“Isabel has journeyed to see Erling in Germany and England, and they’ve even vacationed together.”
“Isabel is quite well-known for her attractiveness back in Bryne. They have always known each other well.”
An insider also mentioned: “Erling has the world at his feet – and women are eager to catch his attention.
“Still, he’s very down-to-earth, and it’s logical for him to be with someone from his roots who he has known for so many years.
“He values having trustworthy people in his life and aims to concentrate solely on his football.”
The couple had a delightful getaway during the World Cup break at Erling’s villa in sunny Marbella, as Norway did not qualify for the Qatar tournament.
They were also seen celebrating New Year’s Eve at the upscale Manchester restaurant The Ivy.
Recently, Erling and Isabel marked the Man City star’s new £20 million deal with Nike with a shopping trip on Oxford Street.
Haaland had been without a boot sponsor since his previous deal expired in January.
Puma and adidas were both keen to sign the Norwegian star, who is also a long-term target for Real Madrid.
However, Haaland opted for the partnership with socially conscious Nike, joining his teammates Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden, along with Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski, and Harry Kane.
The happy couple attended the Ballon d’Or awards together at the end of 2023 and were also seen visiting Erling’s father, Alfie, in sunny Marbella in March.
The former Man City and Leeds defender had purchased a new home in the area.
Do they have any children?
Erling Haaland and Isabel Haugseng Johansen welcomed their first child in December 2024.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola confirmed the delightful news during a post-match interview following his team’s 2-0 victory against Leicester.
He commented: “Sometimes Erling faces criticism, but that’s part of football.
“He’s exhausted; he has played a lot of minutes.
“Recently, he has stepped into fatherhood for the first time—what an emotional journey for him.”
As of now, the name and gender of the baby have not been revealed.
