  • The election for the club's presidency is scheduled for next Sunday.

Enrique Riquelme, a contender for the Real Madrid presidency, has launched a high-profile campaign promise aimed at swaying voters. Should he secure victory in the upcoming elections, Riquelme has pledged to bring Norwegian sensation Erling Haaland to the club.

Haaland, currently a key player for a major European club, is widely regarded as one of the world's most formidable strikers. The prospect of him joining Real Madrid, a club with a storied history of attracting global footballing talent, is likely to generate significant excitement among the fanbase.

Riquelme's promise is a direct challenge to the incumbent president, Florentino Pรฉrez, and other potential candidates. The election, set to take place next Sunday, will determine the future leadership of one of the world's most prestigious football clubs.

The success of this ambitious pledge hinges not only on Riquelme winning the election but also on his ability to negotiate a transfer for Haaland, a player who commands a substantial market value and wage demands. The football world will be watching closely to see if this bold electoral promise materializes.
