Erling Haaland showed off his incredible athleticism as he shared a summer break with footballer girlfriend Isabel Johansen in the South of France. The couple enjoyed a boat trip and were snapped delightfully jumping into the water.
A ripped Haaland was pictured standing on the boat with Johansen, who he met while playing for Bryne in his native Norway. Other images show the Manchester City hotshot descending a water slide and surfing as the couple enjoyed a break from their respective football careers.
Haaland was on a well-earned holiday after smashing several Premier League records last season. His 36 goals in just 35 matches was a record for the league – capping a fine first season after his £51million transfer from Borussia Dortmund.
In total, the 22-year-old bagged 52 strikes in the 2022-23 season. He helped Pep Guardiola’s side win a treble of the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League.

And so it was a much-needed respite for the powerful forward as he prepares for another gruelling season. According to wide-ranging reports, his time spent with 19-year-old partner Johansen is rare due to their busy football schedules.
The pair met while they both played for Bryne in Haaland’s teenage years, prior to his switch to RB Salzburg. Reports claim that they have been dating since the City ace was playing for Dortmund.
Johansen could be seen tying up Haaland’s flowing locks before he jumped into the water. She was also seen performing a back-flip off one of the jet skis, while Haaland beamed as he rode another.
A source allegedly told the Sun of their relationship in June: “[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.”

Haaland, who was born in Leeds but represents Norway, holidayed with Johansen during the World Cup. He was unable to play in Qatar due to his country’s failure to qualify.
That break was crucial in Haaland feeling fresh for the remainder of the season, spurring City on to their historic trio of titles. And the prolific star is already helping other friends settle into England this summer, proving how well he has settled into life since joining City.
Liverpool new boy Dominik Szoboszolai revealed that he could be neighbours with Haaland after joining the Reds in a £60m move from RB Leipzig. The Hungarian sought advice from his former Salzburg colleague.
“We’ve talked. So much so that Erling Haaland has also advised on finding real estate, and it could very well be that we become neighbours,” Szoboszlai told Nemzeti Sports.
“I learned from him that several players live halfway between Manchester and Liverpool in a quiet area where privacy can be preserved, and on Monday I will see what he was talking about. I am very curious.”
