Riquelme, who stands as Perez's rival in the election, promised that Haaland would wear the fabled Los Blancos white if the results in the election go his way.

Real Madrid Presidential candidate Enrique Riquelme vowed to bring in Man City superstar Erling Haaland to the Spanish Capital City club if elected to power, in a stunning promise ahead of the highly anticipated election for the biggest seat at Los Blancos.

Riquelme, who stands as Perez’s rival in the election, promised that Haaland would wear the fabled Los Blancos white if the results in the election go his way.

“When promises are made, they must be backed up. That’s why last night I made it clear, written commitment, with notarial guarantee and backed by personal assets," he said.

“If it’s not fulfilled, I’ll pay 100% of the membership fee for the 100,000 Real Madrid members next season," Riquelme vowed.

“I’ve spoken to Erling Haaland directly, and I’ve spoken with his inner circle. He will join Real Madrid if I’m elected on Sunday."

“His agent? I don’t know her personally, but people in my circle do."

“Denial? It’s normal, it’s an election, there are two candidates, no one is guaranteed to win, and they have to protect the player. It seems normal to me."

“Remember the Figo case? Figo himself said in all the media outlets that he wasn’t coming."

“I understand this, I don’t take it personally, it’s part of the world of sports, the world of football, and it’s totally fine."
