Riquelme’s Haaland Promise Sparks Chaos

from Manchester News Today | The Daily News Now!

Real Madrid’s presidential hopeful Enrique Riquelme stunned fans by publicly vowing to sign Erling Haaland and Rodri if elected, holding up a jersey with Haaland’s name — sparking immediate backlash from Manchester City and Haaland’s agent, who warned of potential legal action over unauthorized use of the player’s image. With no release clause in Haaland’s contract, City insists the move is pure political theater. Riquelme’s campaign, aimed at shaking up the club’s 20-year status quo under Florentino Perez, is packed with bold promises to win over voters ahead of Sunday’s election — while Perez counters with plans to strengthen the squad and fix internal problems. The race is heating up, and fans are watching closely. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
