Erling Haaland planned to spend his summer vacation at St. Tropez to enjoy the sun for the weekend. Following his team’s failure to qualify for the Euros 2024, the 23-year-old Norwegian footballer took a vacation in the French town. Haaland was observed lounging on his beautiful yacht, wearing red and purple shorts and carrying a ball about. With his famous blond hair flowing behind him, Haaland jumped into the waves with a splash. After exiting the water, he lounged along the edge before settling into a chair to unwind.
During his summer break, Erling Haaland enjoyed some relaxation in St. Tropez, basking under the warm sun on Sunday.
The 23-year-old Norwegian striker opted to take a break in a French town after his side failed to qualify for the Euros 2024. Meanwhile, the football tournament kicked off in Germany with a match between Serbia and England. It was evident in November that the Manchester City player would not be attending the Euros due to his national team’s inability to qualify. This also meant that Haaland, who missed a qualifier against Scotland due to an ankle ailment, has yet to appear in a major international event.
Norway has not competed in the World Cup or Euros since Euro 2000. While Haaland received dismal news, Switzerland and the Netherlands celebrated their qualification for the forthcoming competition in Germany. In a recent interview, Haaland stated that he loves criticism of his performance since it encourages him to pursue a third consecutive Golden Boot. He jokingly said, “If this season was poor, so be it. It was a difficult season, but the only way forward is up. “The more critics and haters I have, the more determined I am.”
The striker from Man City looked like he was having a great time as he happily took a plunge into the water during his luxurious getaway.
In additional photos, he was spotted coming out of the water and chilling by the poolside before eventually settling down in a chair to relax.
Unfortunately, Haaland will not be taking part in Euro 2024 as Norway did not make it to the tournament.
The striker from Manchester City will not have the opportunity to compete on the grand European stage in Germany.
