He wishes to be known as Erling "Braut Haaland", which reflects his mother's maiden name, Gry Marita's Braut.
This change has already been implemented with the Norwegian national team, but for now, his Manchester City jersey will still display only his original surname, "Haaland".
The information about the name change comes from a retailer of Norway's national team shirts, but Norway's manager, Stale Solbakken, was unaware of it when asked about it.
When asked about the change, Solbakken stated, "That's his name (Braut), it's no longer that difficult. I knew nothing of it until now."
