Great generosity! Erling Haaland gives his hometown a unique gift worth $134,000
A beautiful gesture from the Norwegian Manchester City striker.
Details: According to Histoporte, the 25-year-old Manchester City and Norway national team forward Erling Haaland, together with his father Alf-Inge Haaland, donated a rare edition of the book “Heimskringla: The Masterpiece” to the library of their hometown Bryne. In Norway, this book is considered one of the most iconic.
The uniqueness of this gift lies in the fact that the book was published in 1594 and chronicles the Viking era of Norway and the reign of Norwegian kings from the Yngling dynasty up to 1177. Haaland and his father donated a genuine original of this historic work, which is truly impressive.
“I want this book to always remain open, so that people can read about those who come from the same places as I do, from Bryne and Jæren,” Haaland stated.
This season, Haaland has played 43 matches for Manchester City, scoring 30 goals and providing 7 assists. His current contract with Manchester City runs until 2034, and Transfermarkt values his market worth at 200 million euros.
