Man City Threatens Legal Action Over Real Madrid Candidate’s Haaland Promise
Real Madrid presidential hopeful Enrique Riquelme surprised fans on a Spanish TV show by displaying a Haaland 9 jersey and pledging to sign Erling Haaland if elected. He also vowed to bring Rodri with him and guaranteed to cover member fees if he broke those promises. Manchester City immediately dismissed the claims as false and announced it is exploring legal action over the use of Haaland’s image. A club spokesperson insisted the striker remains under contract until 2034 and that no release clause allows a move. Haaland’s agent and father echoed City’s stance, calling the talk “entertaining but not true.” Meanwhile, incumbent Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez made his own campaign splash by hinting at José Mourinho’s potential return in a promotional video.
