As the Madrid "Real" club presidential elections approach, this position was tied to the legendary tennis player Rafael Nadal.

The Spanish press was buzzing with Nadal's name, but he was quick to deny the rumors right after yesterday's press conference of the current president Florentino Pérez.

"I read the rumors that connected me to a potential candidacy to become the president of Madrid "Real."

So I would like to clarify that these rumors are inaccurate," wrote the multiple "Grand Slam" tournament winner on the X social network.
