In an unexpected turn of events, Erling Haaland, the star of Manchester City, could face a day in prison in Switzerland over an unpaid fine of just 60 Swiss francs (approximately 65 dollars).

According to the official bulletin of the canton of Vaud, the Norwegian striker has not settled this minor penalty, which could lead to a stint in a Swiss jail if the issue is not resolved soon.

The situation is particularly surprising considering the player’s multimillion-euro salary, which could cover the fine in seconds.

Haaland, who is close to renewing his contract with Manchester City according to various media, has not commented on the matter.

The case has caused a stir on social media, with fans oscillating between astonishment and jokes about how a football star could end up in trouble over such a trivial amount.

Despite the curious legal situation, Haaland remains a key figure for Manchester City, which is going through a challenging period on the field.

It remains to be seen whether Haaland will resolve this matter before his next visit to Switzerland or if the anecdote will take a more serious turn.
