Norway suffered a disappointing defeat to England in the 2026 World Cup quarter-finals, with a brace from Jude Bellingham sending them home on Saturday night.
Haaland’s embrace of the US has gone viral since the tournament began, with the striker collecting millions of fans across the pond due to his looks, his humour and pure talent on the pitch.
The Manchester City star finished the tournament with seven goals in five matches but the main talking point as he touched down in his homeland was the raccoon in his hands.
As per The Athletic, the raccoon is currently sold out on Wild Bill’s website for $750, a price which owner Julie Newport confirmed.
“It was from us,” Newport told The Athletic. “We’ve had a couple of these taxidermy raccoons in the store for the last few years, and he obviously gravitated to that and a couple of the squirrels.
“(Since he posted on social media), we ordered another raccoon — we put it out on the floor today but by the time we put it on the floor, someone already bought it online.
“The taxidermy guy that we buy from has retired. I think I might have one or two more coming. It was $750.”
Haaland will rest in his homeland before Manchester City begin their pre season in Asia against the likes of Inter Milan, K-League All Stars and Atletico Madrid.
