"Part of the game." Real Madrid presidential candidate responds to Haaland camp's comments

A candidate for the Real Madrid presidency recently claimed that Erling Haaland would become a Madrid player if he wins the election. However, the Norwegian striker's representatives denied the reports, prompting a response from Riquelme.

Details: According to the candidate, this is simply part of the game and comparable to the circumstances surrounding Luís Figo's move. He once again insisted that both players would join Real Madrid if he becomes the club's president.

Quote: "It's part of the game. The same thing happened with Figo. We must continue the negotiations while showing the utmost respect to Manchester City. There is a relevant clause in the player's contract, and this Wednesday we sent a private message to Manchester City.

I know perfectly well that if I become president, those two players (Rodri and Haaland) will play for Real Madrid," he said.

Reminder: Meanwhile, the Portuguese manager has reportedly drawn up a list of players he believes should leave the Santiago Bernabéu, as they do not fit into his plans for the future.
