Speaking on the programme, the founder of COX Energy claimed that Haaland has a release clause in his contract and is keen on the move.
“What I commit to is that, regarding the promises I have made about the two players.
“If I am president of Real Madrid and I fail to keep any of them, I have signed a notarised guarantee,” Riquelme said. “In it, I commit to paying 100% of the membership fees of all 100,000 Real Madrid members next season.
“Haaland has a clause in his contract and wants to play for Real Madrid.”
