The Sun: Haaland shoots an advertisement for a luxury watch brand in Manchester

On February 12, according to The Sun, Haaland continues to expand his "business empire" off the field. Recently, the Manchester City striker was photographed shooting an advertisement for a luxury watch in the Castlefield area of Manchester.

According to eyewitnesses, the advertisement was filmed in an old warehouse, with one floor decorated as an Italian restaurant. The crew was initially "startled" – the first person to arrive wasn't Haaland himself, but a stunt double who looked remarkably like him. Not only were their build and facial features similar, but even their signature long blond hair was identical, leading many crew members to mistake one for the other.

Haaland subsequently arrived at the location in a vehicle with dark tinted windows and completed his hair and makeup preparations inside the RV. A classic Aston Martin sports car was also reportedly present at the shoot, presumably as a prop for the advertisement.

Multiple sources indicate that Haaland was filming an advertisement for the Swiss luxury watch brand Breitling. As one of the brand's ambassadors, Haaland's commercial empire has been expanding steadily in recent years.

The 25-year-old Norwegian striker is one of the most marketable players in football today. In 2023, he signed a contract with Nike for at least ten years, worth approximately £20 million; he also collaborates with brands such as Dolce & Gabbana and Beats by Dre.

At the club level, Haaland signed a new ten-year contract with Manchester City last January. His personal wealth is currently estimated to exceed £60 million.
