Man City threaten legal action after Real Madrid Erling Haaland transfer claim

The club have seen enough

As part of his president campaign, he stated on Spanish TV that the Norwegian striker had a release clause and wants to join the Spanish giants.

Though the claims set Madrid fans wild, Man City have been left fuming.

The club deny that any clause exists, and are now even considering their legal options.

A City spokesperson said: “The stories which have emerged from Spain regarding the future of Erling Haaland are untrue.

“There is no chance of this happening and there is no contractual clause to enable it.

“We are considering legal action for the use of our player image in this context.”

The striker's father, Alf-Inge Haaland also stepped in to deny the rumours, as well as agent Rafaela Pimenta.

They said to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano: “All very entertaining but NOT true. We wish all the best for both candidates in the Real Madrid elections”.

The shock elections were called last month during a viral Florentino Perez rant, where the 79-year-old accused media being out to get his club.
