He has scored just three in his last nine matches for Manchester City as they struggle to keep pace with Premier League leaders Liverpool.
However, off the pitch he is allegedly planning to shift his luxury vehicle collection into overdrive by having a Mercedes AMG One built to order.
Haaland’s new motor boasts five F1 engines and has an eye-watering top speed of 219 mph.
The supercar goes from 0-124mph in just seven seconds and can reach 186mph in 15.6 seconds.
Mercedes are believed to be building 275 of the exclusive motors.
Norwegian newspaper Dagens Naeringsliv revealed the news about Haaland’s new car.
And they state that he has teamed up with childhood pal Ole Ertvaag to buy the German-made beast.
Haaland and financier Ertvaag both grew up in Norway’s western Rogaland county.

The respected newspaper, a Norwegian equivalent to the Financial Times, says that the “monster car” will cost over £2m.
And, with all of the taxes included, the total price will be over £2.7m.
Ertvaag is the founder of the HiTecVision investment firm.
He is also a renowned car collector – as is Haaland.
The ex-Borussia Dortmund striker, who fired City to the treble in his first season at the Etihad, previously owned a Mercedes AMG GLE coupe that cost a far more modest £90,000.
Haaland has since splashed out on a £300,000 Rolls Royce Cullinan SUV.
And he also owns an Audi RS6 Avant and Range Rover Sport that are both each worth £120,000.
