First Candidate to Replace Florentino in 2029 Confesses That He Would Love to

Carlos Sainz believes he can contribute to Real Madrid, either as president in the future or on the board of directors

Carlos Sainz, legendary rally driver and self-confessed Madrid fan, has surprised with his statements on the YouTube show El cafelito. During an interview with Josep Pedrerol, the journalist asked him a direct question: "Do you want to be president of Madrid?"

The reply from the Madrid native left no one indifferent. "What I want is for Madrid to win and bring joy to all of us," Sainz began.

However, he admitted that he was once part of a candidacy and reflected on the matter. "I thought then that I could contribute to Real Madrid. Honestly, I think I can contribute to the club."

Figure to succeed Florentino

Sainz left open the possibility of assuming an important role in the future. "The day Real Madrid wants it, if I am available and can contribute, I will be delighted. My goal would be to help Madrid continue being the best club in the world."

The driver didn't want to overlook the praise for Florentino Pérez. "He is the best possible president. The European Cups and what he has achieved support him," he noted.

Nevertheless, he clarified that there are ways to collaborate beyond the presidency. "You can also help by being on the board of directors. I believe there are many ways to contribute."

We will have to wait

Josep Pedrerol reminded that Florentino Pérez was reelected until 2029. Despite this, Sainz insisted on his willingness to serve the club if the opportunity arose. "I will always be willing to help Madrid," he reaffirmed.

These statements have caused a great impact among the white fans, who see in Sainz a reference both inside and outside of sports. His love for the club, combined with his experience as a leader in motorsport, could make him an attractive option for the future.

For now, the driver prefers not to speculate too much. "The important thing is that Real Madrid continues to be the best club in the world," he concluded with a smile.

Carlos Sainz, a successful figure in sports, emerges as an unexpected candidate to succeed Florentino Pérez. Will he be the future president of Real Madrid? Only time will tell.
