While Florentino Perez wants to bring back Jose Mourinho to get Real Madrid back on track, after two years without winning any major trophies, Enrique Riquelme already has a clear idea of which names can reignite enthusiasm.
According to sector sources, the businessman from Alicante, who is expected to confirm his candidacy for the club's presidency today (Thursday), has two "names up his sleeve" to convince members.
On the one hand, Jurgen Klopp as coach, on the other, Erling Haaland as the main star.
According to what El Confidencial has learned, the COX Energy presidential candidate has already had contact with the star who would lead Real Madrid's new project.
And he has aimed high, because it is precisely Haaland that is at stake. The Norwegian, one of the best strikers on the planet, is the chosen candidate who is expected to rival Florentino.
The Manchester City striker's agent has been contacted by Riquelme's sporting directors to understand the player's willingness.
A possible transfer would depend on the eventual election of the businessman from Alicante as the new president of Real Madrid. A "big" name, which, moreover, is in the favor of a large part of the Madrid fans.
This time, the timing has been perfect for Riquelme. Of course, the difficulty of closing a transfer of this caliber in such a short period of time is great, it is no small challenge, but negotiations have already opened with the player's circle, who has been surveyed about the possibility of wearing the white shirt.
As this medium reported a few days ago, the man chosen to take over at Real Madrid is Jurgen Klopp.
According to sources close to the operation, Riquelme has held several meetings with the circle of Red Bull's current global director of football, with the aim of the German becoming another cornerstone of the project.
So, put differently: Klopp and Haaland are the two figures chosen to lead Riquelme's sports project./ Telegraph /
