- Erling Haaland mourns the loss of his long-time companion Ivar Eggja, who passed away at the age of 59.
- Haaland bid farewell to his friend with an emotional post on Instagram.
- "What a legend you are, Ivar. Words can't describe how much you meant to me," wrote the star striker, who owed a lot to Eggja.
"What a legend you are, Ivar. Words can't describe how much you meant to me," Haaland wrote on Instagram. Eggja, his father's best man, was an important companion to Erling Haaland and has now passed away at the age of 59. The cause of death is not yet known.
The Norwegian Manchester City goalscorer also posted eight photos together, with the 24-year-old adding: "Thank you for your craziness. Hope to see you again."
Eggja supported Haaland from a young age and had a say in his career planning. He is also said to have been behind the scenes when Haaland moved from Dortmund to Manchester City.
When Haaland was introduced to the Premier League heavyweight in the summer of 2022, Eggja was seen in photos with the striker and his father Alf-Inge. When Haaland was transferred to Dortmund at a young age, Eggja also took care of the house-hunting, furnishings, bank accounts and insurance.
At the beginning of the year, Haaland was already mourning the loss of his grandmother, who had passed away at the age of 80. And now he has to come to terms with the loss of his friend and mentor.
It remains to be seen whether Haaland will play against Brentford in the league on Saturday and against Inter Milan in the Champions League opener next Wednesday.
