Haaland's camp denies claims of imminent Real Madrid transfer
Summary

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. The denial could influence Real Madrid members ahead of the upcoming vote, with incumbent president Florentino Perez favored to remain in power. Any agreement related to Haaland's transfer remains speculative until after the election results.
