Man City Threatens Legal Action Over Real Madrid Candidate’s Haaland Promise

Manchester City has warned it will pursue legal action after Real Madrid presidential candidate Enrique Riquelme pledged to sign Erling Haaland if elected. The English club argues that such a move would breach Haaland’s existing contract and contravene FIFA transfer regulations.

Riquelme announced the ambition during his campaign, positioning the Norwegian striker as a cornerstone for Madrid’s future ambitions. City’s hierarchy stressed that contract violations undermine inter‑club trust and could lead to compensation claims.

The dispute highlights growing tensions over transfer policies in European football.
