Haaland and long-term partner Johansen were spotted looking relaxed in the Eternal City, report The Sun. Haaland was seen rocking a black and white shirt with a backwards cap, while Johansen coordinated nicely with her other half in a similarly patterned purple and white dress. Both were seen letting down their long locks and appeared care-free as they strolled in front of tourists in the Italian capital. They were also spotted at a Dolce u0026amp; Gabbana show on Monday.

Haaland and Johansen reportedly welcomed their first child last year, though they have kept their family life firmly under wraps. Haaland’s introduction to parenthood coincided with a disappointing season for City, something the club will be hoping to put right next term.

The 24-year-old is enjoying a well-earned rest with Johansen after a long season with City which ended with Club World Cup last-16 defeat to Al-Hilal. Haaland made 48 appearances in all competitions despite spending a period out injured, the second-highest appearance total of his career in a gruelling season. The goalscoring ‘machine’ still managed 34 strikes for the Citizens in what was viewed by some as a quiet campaign for his sky-high standards.

Haaland will be hoping to return to football in top form for Pep Guardiola’s side when the season kicks off in four weeks’ time. Before then, he and his teammates will be put through their paces in pre-season, their first fixture taking place on August 9 against Palermo.
