According to Swiss media Blick, Erling Haaland, star of Manchester City, risks a short stay in prison during his next stay in Switzerland due to an unpaid parking fine.
Erling Haaland (24 years old) in the small papers… of the Swiss administration. According to information from the newspaper Blick, the name of the Manchester City striker appeared in “the official notice sheet” of the canton of Vaud on October 25. According to the document, the Norwegian star did not pay a fine of 60 Swiss francs (or 64.40 euros). The oversight could cost him a little more when he sets foot in the country again.
His father lives in Switzerland
Haaland risks a 24-hour stay in prison during his next visit to Swiss soil. This is what the law provides if the offender refuses to pay the fine. However, he will be free to move around if he pays it in the event that he is arrested by the local police. The former Dortmund player has a good reason to visit Swiss soil since his father and advisor, Alf-Inge Haaland, has lived in the city of Andermatt since 2023.
Erling Haaland should, in all likelihood, avoid prison and be able to pay the amount owed without too much problem. Currently linked to Manchester City until 2027, the striker is in discussions to extend his lease in exchange for an increased salary. According to The Sun, his club would like to sign him a new five-year contract, a salary a little higher than the one he currently receives, estimated at 22 million per season. The package would therefore be estimated at 120 million euros over five years… before bonuses.
In recent months, The Athletic had revealed the existence of a release clause so that he could join a foreign club in 2024, against compensation of 180 million euros. But the trend would now be more towards stability with Manchester City where he has been playing since 2022. Very linked to Pep Guardiola, the player would have very well received the news of the upcoming extension from his coach.
