- Real Madrid to make big money signing
- President mentions Man City duo
- Comes after shocking Haaland claim
Real Madrid President Florentino Perez has mentioned Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku during an admission about the club’s planned transfer business this summer.
Somehow, Man City have become caught up in Real Madrid’s upcoming presidential election, which takes place this Sunday.
Only yesterday, candidate Enrique Riquelme claimed he would sign Erling Haaland if he was made president, while giving out false information about the striker’s contract.
And now, the Norwegian has been mentioned again, only this time by Florentino Perez. Additionally, Jeremy Doku’s name has also come up.
Florentino Perez is planning a £130m signing
According to Fabrizio Romano, current Los Blancos president Perez is looking to spend £130m on an unknown player.
When asked about members of the Man City squad, he said: “The official €150m bid will not be for Erling Haaland.”

He added: “Jeremy Doku? No. The €150m bid won’t be for him.”
Perez later confirmed this would be a Cristiano Ronaldo or Kaka level attacking player, who does not currently play in the Premier League.
Real Madrid’s Rodri links continue
While Perez is obviously not referring to Rodri, he is the most likely of Man City’s players to join Real Madrid this summer.
City have no plans to sell Rodri, but the Spaniard himself has not ruled out an exit from the club this summer.
With only 12 months remaining on his contract, the 29-year-old would be well placed to force his departure, and Real Madrid are the club who keep being mentioned as his next move.
Erling Haaland and Jeremy Doku are going nowhere
Rodri’s future may be up in the air, but this is definitely not the case with Haaland and Doku, regardless of recent speculation.
Haaland has already confirmed his intentions to be playing for Man City next season, while it is hard to believe the Sky Blues would even consider allowing Doku to leave.
Both are considered as key players to the club’s ongoing project, and neither has shown any signs of being discontent.
