Erling Haaland’s triumphant season with Manchester City, which saw him clinching the treble and emerging as the Premier League’s top scorer, couldn’t have been better. The Norwegian forward is currently enjoying a well-deserved break, and recently, he was spotted with former Miss Croatia, Ivana Knoll, in the Spanish resort island of Ibiza.
Ivana Knoll is a prominent figure in the modelling industry. It has garnered a substantial following of 3.3 million fans due to her modelling career and support for the Croatian national football team, often captured in striking attire. The former beauty queen created quite a buzz at the Nations League final and the World Cup, where she embraced the iconic checkerboard pattern of Croatian sports culture.
This recent rendezvous with Manchester City’s prolific striker has ignited speculation about a possible romantic liaison between the two.
Haaland’s Holiday in Spain
Though there is no official confirmation of a romantic relationship between Haaland and Knoll, it’s evident that the football star was making the most of his vacation in Spain. He is reported to have just a week left before his return to Manchester, as a report from The Daily Mail suggested.
Eschewing her usual red and white ensemble, Knoll was photographed alongside Haaland, clad in a vibrant yellow and green bralette. Haaland, in contrast, opted for a casual look with an open-chested blue t-shirt – a style reminiscent of the fashion choice of football legend Eric Cantona. Knoll was also present at Haaland’s last competitive match for his club – the Champions League final held in Istanbul.
Haaland’s holiday, featuring his interactions with Ivana Knoll, wrapped up his exciting Spanish vacation, during which he enjoyed time at his villa and attended teammate Aymeric Laporte’s wedding.
vana Knoll: A Rising Star
Ivana Knoll, a 30-year-old model and influencer, gained moderate recognition before the 2022 World Cup. However, it was her appearance in Qatar where she truly made headlines, not just for her fashion choices at the Qatari stadiums but also due to the controversy that arose from them. As her attire was deemed inappropriate by some in the country, rumours even circulated about her possible imprisonment.
This controversy only catapults Knoll into further fame, causing her follower count to skyrocket. Since then, she has appeared at various sporting events, including football matches, F1 races, and NBA games.
