Tennis legend Rafael Nadal is reportedly set to join the board of directors at Real Madrid, according to BBC Sport. The 22-time Grand Slam champion has made several appearances at Real Madrid matches in recent years, fueling speculation about a formal role with the Spanish football giant.
The move would mark a significant crossover between two of Spain's most iconic sporting institutions. Nadal, a lifelong Real Madrid supporter, has frequently been seen at the Santiago Bernabéu watching Los Blancos play.
Details regarding the specific nature of his role and the timeline for his appointment have not been disclosed. The Spanish tennis star retired from professional tennis in November 2024 after a storied career that included 14 French Open titles and an Olympic gold medal.
