Last night, Enrique Riquelme announced that Erling Haaland is one of the players who will sign for Real Madrid if he is elected president. Later in the night, Alfie Haaland, Cyborg’s father, spoke out to deny the claim. “It’s all very entertaining but not true. We wish good luck to both candidates in the Real Madrid elections”he said. This morning, A.S. says a little more about this media outing from the Haaland clan. Thus, we learn that after Riquelme’s announcement, Hugo Viana, the sports director of the Skyblues, called the Norwegian’s entourage to clarify the situation and agree with his agents that it would be better to publish a message to deny it.
A.S. also shared a press release from Man City, who are furious. “The rumors coming from Spain regarding the future of Erling Haaland are false. There is no way this can happen and there is no contractual clause that allows it. We are considering legal action for the use of our player’s image in this context. Enrique Riquelme didn’t make any friends.
