Haaland also revealed how Riyad
Mahrez had helped played his own small part in persuading him to consider eventually making the move to City when he met up with Algerian winger while the pair were on holiday in Greece last summer.
The duo were pictured on the Greek island of Mykonos relaxing and enjoying themselves after their respective rigours of the 2020/21 season.
At the time,
Mahrez tweeted an image of him alongside Haaland, together with the tongue-in-cheek phrase ‘Agent
Mahrez at duty’.
And Haaland revealed that
Mahrez had indeed urged him to consider potentially making the move to the Etihad at some stage in his career.
Asked what
Mahrez had spoken to him about, Haaland revealed: “He told me to come to City!
“He was right about that. He said some good things about the Club.”
