Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has confirmed he has bought a property in Abu Dhabi, with his father, Alfie Haaland, also reported to be purchasing nearby housing. The reports put the value of the purchase at around £7.5 million and describe it as part of Haaland’s expanding property portfolio.

The move comes shortly after Manchester City were found guilty over 114 Premier League charges, with outlets also noting that the club is facing uncertainty and an appeal process. One outlet adds that Haaland has met with Manchester City staff, including Pep Guardiola, around the time of the purchase, while others point to his continued contractual commitment to the club until 2034.

Across the coverage, there is also mention of broader speculation about Haaland’s future, including links to other clubs, but the reports frame the property news as occurring while he remains a Manchester City player and has not publicly indicated a departure.
