Haaland hadn’t even found out. He told Marmoush to put on his training kit, as if it were any other day at City. But Marmoush no longer belonged in that dressing room: he was leaving for Tottenham.
The Norwegian did nothing but be happy for his friend, who was about to fulfill his dream at another club. A warm embrace between the two, wishing each other luck before setting off on a new path.
Although Haaland left him a warning: “Don’t even think about ignoring me on Snapchat”. They may now become rivals, but never enemies.
Another example of the Norwegian’s human qualities in relating to his teammates, a stark contrast to the beast he transforms into on the field.
