Haaland enjoys a casual kick-around under the Marbella summer sun
Recent Manchester City signing Erling Haaland has been spotted on one of Marbella’s beaches playing in a casual game of football with some of the local children.
The Norwegian striker has proven once again that he’s keen to integrate into the local scene and is comfortable having fun under the sun with some of the local youngsters, who have now had the unforgettable experience of playing with one of football’s hottest prospects.
Haaland, who in recent days had been seen in a DJ booth and driving high-end cars around the town, owns a house in the area to which he tries to come to whenever he can. Haaland also knows the Costa del Sol town thanks to the Norwegian national team training at the Marbella Football Center during international breaks.
The video quickly went viral, with many users praising Haaland’s attitude of having fun on the beach as if he was just another local and further cements the notion that he loves Marbella.

It seems Erling Haaland cannot keep himself away from football, as he has been spotted enjoying a kickabout with some children on the beach while holidaying in Marbella.
The 21-year-old is enjoying a well-earned break after scoring 29 goals in 30 games for Borussia Dortmund last season, and helping Norway go four points clear at the top of their UEFA Nations League group.
Haaland will join Manchester City next week on a five year deal with the Premier League champions.
In a video posted on Twitter, Haaland shows off his keepy-ups by the sea in a game of ‘don’t fall on the shore’ with some youngsters.
His Spanish holiday will be a key break for the Norway star as he navigates a packed schedule.
Haaland was officially unveiled earlier this month with City recreating a famous picture of a young Haaland posing in a 2008/9 citizens kit with their new signing in this season’s shirt.
He has also been looking at houses in Manchester, including the mansion Paul Pogba lived in.
Strikers from the Bundesliga have often failed to live up to previous form when arriving in the Premier League, but even if Haaland can half the goal-a-game return he has managed in previous years he will prove a dangerous competitor at the Etihad.
City fans will be hoping the big striker can be the last piece in the puzzle as they look for a first European trophy.
