Riquelme's Haaland Claim Denied by City

Real Madrid presidential candidate Enrique Riquelme promised to sign Erling Haaland if elected, a claim immediately denied by Manchester City officials.

Enrique Riquelme, a candidate in Real Madrid's presidential election, made a bold promise on Wednesday night to sign Erling Haaland if he wins the upcoming vote, recalling a similar tactic used during the Figo transfer saga.

Just an hour later, Haaland's father and agent issued a statement: "Everything is very entertaining, but it's not true. We wish both candidates the best in the Real Madrid elections." The claim mirrors the controversial Figo transfer from Barcelona to Real Madrid in 2000, which also involved political promises during a presidential election. truewildgame.com
