Real Madrid presidential candidate promises Haaland signing

Enrique Riquelme, a contender for Real Madrid's presidency, has made a bold promise to sign Manchester City star Erling Haaland should he win the club's elections on June 7. Riquelme presented a notarized document to back his pledge, stating that Haaland desires a move to the Spanish club.

“

Haaland has a clause, he wants to come to Real Madrid.

Beyond Haaland, Riquelme outlined other key aspects of his proposed project. He indicated that Rodri Hernández is also a target, with conversations already held with the player's agent. Raúl González is slated to become the sporting director, and Fernando Hierro would lead the youth academy under Riquelme's leadership.

“

Rodri is a great Spanish player, Ballon d'Or winner, plays in a position that Real Madrid needs to reinforce and if I am president of Real Madrid, I can't say it any clearer. Rodri will play at Real Madrid.

Addressing the rival candidacy of Florentino Pérez, who announced José Mourinho as his potential coach, Riquelme expressed a different vision. He believes Mourinho is not the right fit for his project, suggesting a "totally different style" is needed. Riquelme hinted at an exciting coach announcement soon, emphasizing that Raúl and Hierro's involvement brings necessary hierarchy and professionalism to the club's sporting decisions.

“

He had him at the time. He is a good coach. In our project it is a totally different style. For our project, no. It is another type of project. I have another coach.

Riquelme also confirmed his intention to retain Emilio Butragueño in his role as director of institutional relations if elected. He aims to announce his chosen coach either Friday or Saturday, describing the individual as "the one everyone wants to coach Real Madrid."

“

The arrival of Raúl and Hierro has revolutionized and they are exercising hierarchy and professionalism.
