What if the future president of Real Madrid was named… Rafael Nadal? The tennis player, who announced this Thursday that he will retire at the end of the season, is an unconditional fan of the Merengue club. Asked by El Objetivo de La Sextaon the possibility of seeing him in the world of football after his career in tennis courts, the native of Manacor admitted to waiting for this opportunity: “ If you ask me if I will be happy to be president of Real Madrid, I will answer yes. Of course I’m looking forward to it, but it’s not in my life plan. If life gives me the opportunity and the conditions are right, definitely. I really like football and Real Madrid “, he declared in comments relayed by Ace.
He also praised the work of Florentino Pérez, to whom he is very close: “ the work he does is impressive. In a situation as difficult as the one that the clubs have gone through, the pandemic, the competition with clubs that have almost unlimited resources, having the team that Real Madrid has, with the young players that it has, the economic management that he did during these difficult times, could not be done better. And me, as a madridista, I don’t think I could have done better, I wouldn’t compete because, in the end, what gives me happiness and I wouldn’t be happier being president, maybe doing worse than what I’m doing now, but enjoying it. »
