Early life and career

His mom, Gry Marita, was an athlete and a Norwegian champion in heptathlon. Erling loved soccer since he was really little. Even when his dad got hurt and had to stop playing, Erling kept on playing soccer.
When Erling Haaland was just 15 years old, he started his soccer journey with the Norwegian team Bryne F.K. In the seasons of 2015-16, he played for Bryne 2, which is like the team’s backup group, and he scored 18 goals in 14 games there. Then, in May 2016, Berntsen, the coach, decided to let him play with the main team for the first time. Erling had his first game on May 12, 2016, in a match against Ranheim in the first division. He played 16 games with Bryne in total.
In February 2017, Haaland joined Molde, where he had a decent first season with 4 goals in 20 games. In his second season, he scored 16 goals, including a memorable four-goal match. He caught the attention of Juventus and Salzburg. Haaland moved to Red Bull Salzburg in August 2018, with a slow start, but he emerged as a key player in the 2019-20 season, notably scoring a Champions League hat-trick in his debut and ending the season with 28 goals in 22 games.
In early 2020, Haaland joined Borussia Dortmund. He had a fantastic debut, scoring a hat-trick in 23 minutes against FC Augsburg. He continued to impress, scoring against top teams like Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich. He won the Golden Boy award and set a record by reaching 15 Champions League goals in just 12 appearances. However, he had a tendon injury in December 2020 but returned in January 2021, scoring consistently and becoming the Bundesliga’s top scorer with 27 goals in the 2020-21 season.
He signed a five-year deal with Manchester City F.C. on June 13, 2022. In his first season with Manchester City, Haaland scored a whopping 52 goals.
