Riquelme held up a Real Madrid jersey bearing the Norwegian international's name and number. "Haaland has a release clause and would like to transfer to Real," he stated, according to The Athletic.
The English club's management responded on Thursday. "Reports emerging from Spain regarding Erling Haaland's future are untrue. There is no chance of such a move happening. We are considering legal action concerning the use of our player's image in this context," the club announced, as reported by DPA.
Haaland's father, Alfie, and his agent, Rafaela Pimenta, also denied the information. Haaland signed a long-term contract with the Manchester club in January 2025, extending until the end of the 2033/2034 season.
In addition to Haaland, Riquelme also aims to bring another City player, midfielder Rodri, to the "White Ballet." Rodri has a valid contract with his current club for another season and intends to decide his future only after the summer World Cup.
