Manchester City threaten to sue Real Madrid presidential hopeful over Haaland
Enrique Riquelme held Madrid shirt with Haaland’s name
City bid rejected for Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson
Manchester City are considering legal action against Enrique Riquelme after the Real Madrid presidential candidate held up a Madrid shirt with Erling Haaland’s name on the back during a TV appearance. Riquelme claimed a clause in the striker’s contract would allow him to sign Haaland if elected.
On Wednesday, Riquelme said Haaland, who agreed a record nine-and-a-half-year deal in January 2025, wanted to join Real. The Spanish businessman also promised that Rodri would leave City for the record 15-times European champions.
