Real Madrid presidential candidate Enrique Riquelme has claimed that he finalized a deal for Erling Haaland from Manchester City. Riquelme asserts that a release clause in Haaland's contract would facilitate the transfer if he wins the presidential election on Sunday. Haaland's camp refuted these claims, calling them 'very entertaining' but untrue.
