Rafael Nadal, the tennis legend and honorary member of Real Madrid, has expressed his ambition to become the president of the club in the future.
However, he acknowledges that he may not meet the criteria for the position.
Nadal, a Madrid fan, plans to retire from tennis in 2024 and has mentioned his interest in taking on a leadership role at the club.
He admires the current president, Florentino Pérez, and recognizes that there are certain requirements that need to be fulfilled to assume the presidency.
Madrid’s statutes outline these criteria, including being a member for 20 years, being able to guarantee 15% of the club’s annual budget, and holding Spanish nationality.
Nadal, who has been an honorary member since 2011, is unsure if he meets these qualifications. He believes that time will reveal if he is capable of taking on such a role.
Despite his aspirations, he has not discussed this matter with Pérez and remains realistic about his limitations.
Madrid is currently performing well in La Liga and Nadal is hopeful for the team’s success.
He also expressed his interest in the potential signing of Kylian Mbappé, stating that he would welcome the forward to the club.
