Nadal denies he will become president of Real Madrid

The latest hours in sports journalism have been mostly dominated by the press conference held by Florentino Pérez in his crusade against some media outlets in the sector. After announcing the call for elections within Real Madrid, there have been many rumors trying to quickly find a successor, with Rafa Nadal being one of the first names that always comes up. And what does Rafa Nadal think about all this? Well, he tweeted just a few minutes ago: he has no intention of running for president. And that's it, a rumor cut off just like that.

I have read reports linking me to possible candidacies for the presidency of Real Madrid. I would like to clarify that these reports are not true.
