Riquelme's Haaland Promise Sparks City Denial

During an appearance on TV show 'El Hormiguero,' Riquelme declared he would pursue the Norwegian striker, stating: 'He has a clause and would want to come to Real Madrid.' The promise came amid the upcoming presidential election at the Spanish club.

The denial came swiftly, with Haaland's father Alfie and agent Rafaela Pimenta releasing a statement within an hour: 'Very entertaining, but not true. We wish both candidates the best in the Real Madrid elections.' The situation bears resemblance to previous electoral tactics used in Madrid's presidential race. macnevers-and-co.beer
