ERLING HAALAND has enjoyed a sensational few years since moving to Manchester City.
He was part of Pep Guardiola’s side’s incredible march towards the Treble in his debut season.
Haaland’s first season in Manchester also saw him break the record for the most goals in a single Prem season (36).
The Norweigan goal machine wasn’t as prolific the following campaign – but still claimed the Golden Boot and the title once again.
And one person by his side during his illustrious career is his girlfriend, Isabel Haugseng Johansen.
Who is Erling Haaland’s girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen?
Haaland was spotted in London’s West End earlier this year with girlfriend Isabel Haugseng Johansen.
The pair are rarely spotted together – but there’s a good reason for that.
Isabel, 20, is a footballer herself – in fact, that’s how the lovebirds met.
Haaland joined local team Bryne when he was just five years old.
He would go on to spend over a decade at the Norwegian side before being snapped up Molde.
Leeds-born Haaland went on to sign for RB Salzburg, Borussia Dortmund and Man City after an explosive start to life in the senior game.
But it was at Bryne that Haaland met Isabel – who also works part-time at a fashion store.
The pair grew up together at the club’s academy and it’s believed they began dating during his time at Dortmund.
A source told The Sun: “[Their relationship] seems to be pretty serious.
“Isabel has travelled to Germany and England to see Erling and now she’s been with him [on holiday].
“Isabel is well known for her beauty in Bryne. They’ve always known each other.”
An insider added: “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.”
The couple enjoyed a warm getaway during the World Cup break as they headed to Haaland’s villa in sunny Marbella – with Norway not qualifying for Qatar.
They were also spotted at fancy Manchester restaurant The Ivy on New Year’s Eve.
Recently, Erling and Isabel celebrated the Man City ace’s new £20million contract with Nike with a shopping trip on Oxford Street.
Haaland had been without a boot deal since his old contract expired in January.
Puma and adidas had been keen to pinch the Norwegian ace and long-term Real Madrid target.
But Haaland opted for the deal with America-based Nike, joining team-mates Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden, as well as Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski and Harry Kane.
The happy couple appeared on the red carpet together for the Ballon d’Or awards in late 2023 and were also spotted visiting Erling’s father, Alfie, in sunny Marbella in March.
The former Man City and Leeds defender had bought a new property in the area.
Do they have children?
Erling Haaland and Isabel Haugseng Johansen welcomed their first child in December 2024.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola revealed the pair’s great news in a post-match interview after his side’s 2-0 win at Leicester.
He said: “Sometimes Erling has been judged badly but it’s part of football.
“He’s tired, he’s played a lot of minutes.
“He’s become a father for the first time in the last few days, a lot of emotions and an exciting few days for him.”
The child’s name or gender has not been revealed at the time of writing.
