Rafael Nadal had sealed his move onto the Real Madrid board before El Clásico, according to Diario AS. Only four people knew about the agreement, which stayed well away from the spotlight.
The tennis player has shown total willingness to join the Madrid governing body and called it a great honour that they had thought of him for the role. The deal was settled before the match against Barcelona, a detail that confirms how discreetly it was handled.
