Rafael Nadal Bought Shares Of Real Mallorca??


Latest Wimbledon champion Rafael Nadal has become a shareholder in Real Mallorca in an attempt to help out the cash-strapped club.
Nadal is well known for his love of football and will be in South Africa for Spain's World Cup final against Holland on Sunday. He is a passionate supporter of Real Madrid, however the world number one, who was born on the island of Majorca, has now dug into his pockets to help his local club.

"It's an honour to be able to help Real Mallorca, I will help in any way I can,'' said Nadal, who claimed his second Wimbledon title last week.

It is the latest in a series of positive news for Mallorca, who are struggling with debts reported to be around €85 million (£71.2 million).

Matters appear to be looking up for the islanders after a group headed by former coach Llorenc Serra Ferrer became majority shareholders last month and swiftly installed Michael Laudrup as first-team coach. Nadal's uncle, Spain and Barcelona legend Miguel Angel Nadal, was then appointed as Laudrup's assistant, returning to the club where he made his name.

The 24-year-old tennis star is delighted to be making his contribution. "I am proud to be a part of this new project put together by Majorca locals,'' added Nadal. "I am very pleased to have Laudrup as the new coach and as the image for the club.''
