Erling Haaland has reportedly switched from the bustling streets of Manchester to the Cheshire countryside to live 10 minutes away from fellow Man City team-mate Jack Grealish.
The 24-year-old previously rented a city centre apartment where Grealish was his neighbour, before the England star purchased a £5.6million mansion in 2023.
Haaland was reportedly spotted viewing homes with his long-term partner Isabel Haugseng Johansen, 20, in October 2024.
Isabel, who is a footballer herself and also works part-time at a fashion store, is believed to have met Haaland at the youth academy at Bryne, who they both played for.
She recently gave birth, making Haaland a first-time father, and the couple are seemingly keen to settle down in light of the milestone – with The Sun reporting that they have moved to the countryside.
Their six-bed mansion near Alderley Edge is an estimated 30 minutes from Manchester city centre, and has been a renowned location for Man United and City players over the years.

Some notable names include: Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand, Eric Cantona and Dwight Yorke.
Alderly Edge is part of what is known as the ‘Golden Triangle’, also referred to as the ‘Footballer Belt’ – an area of affluent small towns and villages in Cheshire.
The triangle, spanning around five miles at its furthest point, includes the area within Alderley Edge, Prestbury and Wilmslow.
Five of the ten most expensive roads in North West England are located in this area, which also houses wealthy businesspeople and entertainment industry figures.
Liverpool players Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk are believed to also live in the triangle, as it is a manageable 50-minute drive from the Reds’ training ground in Kirkby.
Haaland’s decision to lay roots with his family in Manchester may be inspiring news for City fans, as there has been heavy speculation surrounding his future over the last few months.
It was reported in November that City want him to put pen to paper on a new contract to keep him at the club for at least five more years.
The overall package is thought to be worth £100m, without even taking bonuses into account.

The Norwegian has been linked with Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid, but City are keen to ward off interest in their star striker.
Haaland has thrived under Pep Guardiola since signing for City in 2022, scoring 111 goals in 125 club appearances.
City won an unprecedented Treble in Haaland’s first season, and retained the Premier League title last term.
Haaland has claimed the Golden Boot in each of his two seasons in the Premier League, and is well on his way to winning the award again after netting 12 goals in his opening 11 league matches in 2024-25.
