Manchester City hotshot Erling Haaland forking out £4million on a dream Bugatti supercar.
The Norway striker, 24, has shattered all kinds of Premier League records since joining City from Borussia Dortmund in 2022 and fired the club to a history-making treble in his maiden season. His imperious goalscoring form at both City and Dortmund has won him plenty of admirers among Europe’s elite. But Haaland committed his long-term future to the Premier League champions earlier this year by penning a mammoth nine-and-a-half year contract which is estimated to be one of the most lucrative sporting contracts ever.

And the striker is now said to have agreed to splash out around £4m on an extremely rare space age Bugatti Tourbillon.
The remarkable car has 1,800 horsepower petrol and an electric hybrid V16 engine which means it can clock up speeds of 127mph in just FIVE seconds. It’s top overall speed is even more impressive, standing at a monster 277mph.
Haaland’s friend, billionaire car collector Ole Ertvaag, has helped him snap up the classy motor, with Bugatti making just 250 Tourbillons in total.
The car is priced at £3.2m, but Norway’s strict law on low emissions means Haaland and Ertvaag will end up paying around £4m, per The Sun. They are also expected to splash more cash on customising the motor when it arrives and are pushing to complete their purchase before April 1, where taxes of petrol-driven hybrid vehicles will be increased.
A source said: “The taxes will push the cost of the car to £4 million provided it’s registered in time. But the cost is not a deal breaker for people as rich as Erling Haaland and he will love the chance of being able to drive his Bugatti on trips back home. It’s a truly amazing car both in terms of looks and performance – and the only question remaining is whether it will be delivered in sky blue Man City colours.”
Haaland and Ertvaag, who are both from the Rogaland region of Norway and said to have joint property investments alongside the striker’s dad, Alf-Inge, purchased a lavish Mercedes AMG motor worth £2.62m between themselves last year.
On the pitch, Haaland has scored 29 goals in 39 games for City across all competitions. Pep Guardiola’s side have struggled in the Premier League, though, and will relinquish their crown this season after falling well behind Liverpool.
