Alfie Haaland, the father of Norwegian Erling Haaland, spoke about his son's connection to the possibility of playing for Real Madrid, especially after previous statements by Enrique Riquelme, the former presidential candidate of the Royal Club.
presidential election campaign, Enrique Riquelme, a rival of Florentino Perez, the president of the Spanish club, stated that Haaland would be his signature signing for the team if he won the election, and that the deal would be a done deal.
Haaland's father told the Spanish newspaper Marca: "I don't want to talk too much about the elections of other clubs. Haaland is happy at Manchester City and has a long-term contract with them, but every player dreams of playing for Real Madrid."
When asked about the possibility of his son playing in Spain one day, he left the door open, saying: "Maybe, maybe there are always opportunities in football in Spain. There are great teams and great clubs. Nobody knows, but Haaland plays in England and he is happy with his team."
Haaland is currently in the United States and led his country, Norway, to a 2-1 victory over Brazil, scoring a brace for his team, thus qualifying Norway for the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup.
