Real Madrid presidential candidate targets Haaland and Rodri transfers

Enrique Riquelme, a candidate in the upcoming Real Madrid presidential election on June 7, has publicly declared intentions to sign Manchester City's Erling Haaland and Rodri. Riquelme claims Haaland has a release clause and desires a move to Madrid, while also emphasizing that Rodri would like to play for the Spanish club if elected. This comes amid a significant transitional period for Madrid, with the current president, Florentino Perez, facing scrutiny after two consecutive seasons without major trophies. The situation at Manchester City also remains tense, as Rodri seeks a better contract amid internal changes and the potential influence of Riquelme's statements.
