The truth about Haaland joining Real Madrid

Erling Haaland’s camp has expressed clear dissatisfaction with the striker’s name being used in the election campaign of Real Madrid presidential candidate Enrique Riquelme, insisting there are no negotiations or agreements regarding his future. According to journalist Thomas Gonzalez Martin, agent Rafaela Pimenta underlined that any potential discussion involving Real Madrid would only occur through official channels with club president Florentino Pérez.

Haaland remains tied to Manchester City on a long‑term contract running until 2034, making current speculation about a departure unfounded. Reports in Spain also indicate that signing the Norwegian forward is not among Real Madrid’s priorities, with the club focused instead on renewing Vinícius Júnior and strengthening other areas of the squad.

Earlier claims suggested Riquelme planned to reveal a marquee signing as part of his campaign, following reports of an agreement with Manchester City midfielder Rodri, but Haaland’s entourage has firmly dismissed any connection.
