Erling Haaland says a short conversation with Riyad Mahrez on holiday was 'enough' to convince him to sign for Manchester City the following summer.
Mahrez and Haaland were spotted on holiday in Mykonos in the summer of 2021, and Mahrez joked at the time he was 'Agent Mahrez', prompting plenty of excitement that then-Borussia Dortmund striker Haaland could be moving to City. Haaland would stay at Dortmund for the 2021/22 season, before City won the race to sign him for £51m last summer.
Haaland has 27 goals to his name already for City, and is firmly a fan favourite in his short time at the Etihad so far. In a new promotional video published by the club, Haaland and Mahrez were asked to recall their conversations in Greece a year before they became teammates.
