He appears before me, stepping onto the balcony of his luxurious £2.6 million apartment located on a quiet and tranquil street in Oslo’s affluent district. However, prior to this encounter, I explore the charming city that exudes a Nordic cool which shines brighter than the scorching sun. The city boasts chic architecture, eccentric drinking establishments, and vibrant young faces, yet there is no sign of the Manchester City star. The streets are devoid of billboards, murals, or neon advertisements illuminating Karl Johans street with its abundance of designer shops. Even the Nike store window displays only female footballers.
Haaland’s name is on everyone’s lips, carried along by the gentle breeze from the harbor in the capital city. Despite this, it seems that the country has yet to fully embrace its greatest sportsman and is still adjusting to his incredible success. The tree-lined streets and bar-lined waterfront are some of his favorite spots, but there is a sense that he is still not fully appreciated.
The forward seems to be settling down in Oslo where he has recently acquired a luxurious apartment worth £2.6 million.
The latest apartment building of the Norwegian has an added feature – a rooftop bar that provides a scenic view of the Oslo skyline. The complex is linked to the Sommerrø Hotel.
Although the superstar has gained popularity throughout Europe, the locals are still not accustomed to their fame.
The Norwegian team is currently accommodated in a simple hotel located only a short five minute car ride away from the Ullevaal Stadium.
Last year, after Norway’s glorious victory against Armenia by a score of 9-0, Haaland and Martin Odegaard celebrated their triumph at Michaels Nightclub. The nightclub is well-known for being a favorite spot among celebrities who want to avoid the paparazzi.
Michael’s interior is designed with a subdued and understated aesthetic that creates a relaxing atmosphere for those who choose to spend time there.
Haaland’s peaceful abode is located in the calm complex of the trendy Sommerrø Hotel, providing a soothing respite from the busy Solliplass.
In his debut season at Manchester City, the 22-year-old managed to score an impressive total of 52 goals, ultimately contributing to the team’s triumphant treble victory.
The upcoming Scotland game is expected to have a crowd of 28,000 attendees, which is significantly more compared to the turnout from five years ago.
Haaland is set to make his debut at the Ullevaal stadium after a long 15-month absence from the venue.
Norway has not participated in a major tournament since 2000, but their confidence is on the rise due to the plethora of talented players they have at their disposal.
