But Norwegian striker Haaland has ditched the plane which cost just under £2million in 2021.

The buyer, gun silencer tycoon Eckhoff Johansen, 47, said he had paid substantially more than the 2021 price.

The Piper M600 is now £3million to buy new.

Haaland and his dad held a 37.5 per cent stake in the company which owned the six-seater.

A source told The Sun: “Erling and Alfie have had fun in their plane.

“But they’re both multi-millionaires who can ­afford to charter a ­private plane without the hassle of ownership.”

“It’s a bonus that they appear to have sold it for more than they paid for it – that’s good business!”

Haaland has spent Christmas recovering from a stress injury to his foot which has kept him out of the City side for weeks.
