Sharp Response from City to Riquelme: Ready to Take Legal Action
Manchester City responded with an official denial to Real Madrid presidential candidate Enrique Riquelme's statement on Wednesday evening on the El Hormiguero programme "If I win, Haaland will come to Real Madrid". The club's statement included these expressions: "The stories which have emerged from Spain 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." City management treated Riquelme's shirt stunt as a "brand violation" and signalled lawsuit.
