Tennis champion Rafael Nadal is reportedly being considered for the presidency of Real Madrid, according to a report published Friday. The story, attributed to Francisco Guerra of MEGA and written by Jennifer Lenhart for First for Sports, suggests the potential move has been "long desired by both parties."
The 22-time Grand Slam winner has long been associated with Real Madrid as a passionate supporter. Nadal, who retired from professional tennis in November 2024, has frequently attended matches at the Santiago Bernabéu and maintains close ties with the club's leadership.
No official statement has been released by Real Madrid or Nadal's representatives regarding the reported discussions. The club's current president, Florentino Pérez, has held the position since 2009 after previously serving from 2000 to 2006.
