Real Madrid has officially proposed the appointment of Rafael Nadal as a member of its board of directors, as reported by Onze Mondial. The former Spanish tennis player is a long-time fan of the club, according to Voetbal International.

A proposal submitted to the general meeting

According to Europa Press, the proposal will be put forward at the extraordinary general meeting scheduled for Saturday 21 November at the club's sporting city. El Español notes that this meeting will be held at the same time as the ordinary general meeting of member representatives.

Nadal, who is an honorary member of Real Madrid, will still have to wait for a final confirmation, ElDesmarque stresses. Several Spanish media outlets, including El País, Mundo Deportivo and El Mundo, also mention this upcoming entry into the board of directors.

A lifelong fan

The former world number one in tennis, record holder for victories at Roland-Garros with 14 titles, will be able to live his passion for the club even more intensely, writes Foot Mercato. Voetbal International recalls that Nadal is a supporter of the club, which he describes as reigning European champions.

The final decision therefore rests with the members at the extraordinary general meeting on 21 November.
