💥 A Historic Gift from Haaland

Erling Haaland, Manchester City striker, donated a rare 16th-century manuscript featuring a Viking saga to his hometown in Norway 📜⚡.

📖 Manuscript Details

Haaland and his father, Alf-Inge Haaland, purchased the 1594 edition of historian and poet Snorri Sturluson’s series at an auction for 1.3 million Norwegian kroner (about $133,636), setting a national record for book sales 🇳🇴.

🌟 Permanent Display

The manuscript will be permanently exhibited at the local library in Time municipality, giving residents the chance to explore the history of Northern kings and heritage stories.

🎙️ Haaland’s Statement

“I’m living my dream, but unfortunately, this dream is available to very few. I saw how books give many the ability to dream and achieve their goals,” said Haaland.

⚽ A New Chapter in His Career

This move adds a human touch to the record goalscorer’s career in Norway, as the 25-year-old prepares to lead his national team in their first World Cup appearance in 28 years, scheduled for June.
