Erling Haaland has been nothing short of a sensation for Manchester City since joining Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering side in the summer of 2022.
The prolific Norwegian striker has shattered numerous records for the Premier League powerhouse, playing a crucial part in City becoming only the second English club to win the treble last season at just 23 years old.
It appears that Haaland is enjoying life off the field as well, as he has seamlessly adapted to living in England alongside his girlfriend, Isabel Haugseng Johansen.
But who is precisely Haaland’s childhood love? Here’s all the information we have about Johansen and the relationship between the young couple.
Haaland is currently in a relationship with footballer and part-time fashion store assistant Johansen.
The 20-year-old, hailing from Norway as well, is a player for the Norwegian club Bryne.
Reportedly, Haaland and Johansen crossed paths at Bryne, where Haaland began his journey at the tender age of five.
They are thought to have developed a friendship while growing up in the club’s academy, where Haaland spent 12 years before transferring to Molde in 2017.
Haaland made his move to the German powerhouse Borussia Dortmund in 2020, marking the beginning of his relationship with Johansen.
A source told The Sun: ‘It seems to be pretty serious. Isabel has travelled to Germany and England to see Erling and now she’s been with him in Marbella.
‘Erling has the world at his feet and women queuing up to be his partner. But he’s a very sensible lad and it makes perfect sense he’s with a girl from his home town who he’s known for years.
‘He needs to be able to trust the people in his life and just concentrate on football.’
Despite the attention on Haaland, the Scandinavian couple has seldom been spotted together in public.
Nevertheless, they did travel to Haaland’s villa in Marbella during the World Cup, as Norway did not qualify for the tournament in Qatar.
Weeks afterward, they were sighted arriving at The Ivy restaurant in Manchester on New Year’s Eve.
Haaland and Johansen were also observed indulging in a shopping spree along Oxford Street in London last April.
As per the Mail Online, Haaland has relocated Johansen to his flat in the Northern Quarter, with the teenager being permitted to pursue remote studies by Bryne Upper Secondary School.
