Haaland, Rodri Will Join Real Madrid –Riquelme

Enrique Riquelme, the Real Madrid presidential candidate, is maintaining his ambitious election promises to sign Erling Haaland and Rodri from Manchester City. He claims Haaland has a release clause and has presented signed documents to support his transfer assertions.

Riquelme is launching a dramatic challenge to incumbent president Florentino Pérez ahead of the club’s elections, and his campaign strategy includes several high‑stakes claims.

Manchester City has categorically denied the allegations, stating there are no release clauses in Haaland’s contract and is considering legal action over the unauthorized use of their players in the Spanish election.

Haaland’s representatives, Rafaela Pimenta and his father Alfie, have also refuted the rumors.

Despite the backlash, Riquelme remains determined to secure the Man City duo as his marquee signings.

“It’s part of the game. Better than you, nobody knows it. It also happened with Figo; this is part of football,” Riquelme said via his X handle.

“Protecting the player, we had spoken before and after, also with Pablo (Barquero), Rodri’s representative. I know perfectly well that then you have to talk to City. They are different circumstances, Rodri’s than Haaland’s, but you have to talk to City. We have maximum respect for the club.”

He recently became the fastest player in Premier League history to reach 100 goals, achieving the milestone in an exceptionally short period.

Haaland continues to surpass his own record‑breaking seasons, often delivering multi‑goal performances that outshine entire squads in the English top flight.
