Manchester City has vehemently denied rumors surrounding Erling Haaland's potential move to Real Madrid, asserting that claims made by Enrique Riquelme, a candidate for the Real Madrid presidency, are false and that no such transfer clause exists.
In an interview on Tuesday night, Riquelme – who also announced his intention to sign Rodri – displayed a jersey with Haaland's name and pledged to bring both players to the club. "If I fail to deliver on any of my promises, I respect these players (Rodri and Haaland), I have made a notarized guarantee that in case of any non-compliance, I will pay 100 percent of all members' fees for the next season," he stated.
Spanish newspaper Marca and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano both cited sources within the English club on Wednesday, who unequivocally denied the possibility of the Norwegian international, under contract until 2034, leaving the club.
"The stories emerging from Spain regarding Erling Haaland's future are false. There is no possibility of this [his departure from the club] happening, and there is no contractual clause that would allow it," the source affirmed.
The news coming out of Spain about Erling Haaland's future is false. There is no possibility of this [his departure from the club] happening, and there is no contractual clause that would allow it. We are considering legal action due to the use of our player's image in this context
Beyond refuting the rumors, Manchester City is reportedly considering legal action. The club is threatening to pursue legal avenues due to the unauthorized use of their player's image. "We are considering legal action over the use of our player's image in this context," the same source added.
Romano also quoted the striker's father, Alfie Haaland, and agent Rafaela Pimenta yesterday: "All very amusing, but NOT true. We wish both candidates the best of luck in the Real Madrid elections."
