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

ERLING Haaland has stopped playing on the wing this season — after selling his private plane.

The Man City star, 23, has been snapped all over Europe on board the Piper Malibu, which he owned with former footie international dad Alfie, 51, and two partners.

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.
