Riquelme's Haaland Promise Met with Denial

Real Madrid presidential candidate Enrique Riquelme made headlines by promising to sign Erling Haaland if he wins the upcoming elections, stating the striker has a clause and would want to join Real Madrid. The announcement was made during his appearance on the TV show El Hormiguero.

The claim was quickly refuted by Haaland's father Alfie and agent Rafaela Pimenta, who released a statement within an hour calling the promise "very entertaining but not true" while wishing both candidates well in the elections. The situation has drawn comparisons to the controversial transfer of Luis Figo to Barcelona years ago. forestarrow.help
