Juan Martín Del Potro eyes role in Boca politics ahead of elections | OneFootball

Juan Martín Del Potro, a former tennis player and well-known Boca fan, is looking to get fully involved in the club’s politics ahead of the next elections, which will take place in 2027. This was revealed by José Beraldi, who also announced his candidacy and the possibility of adding him to his team.

The businessman reappeared in the media after a long time away from the spotlight. Speaking with Radio Mitre, Beraldi said he is already working to run for president again and is seeking to unite the opposition to Juan Román Riquelme behind him in order to challenge the current president.

Beraldi stated, among other things, that Juan Martín Del Potro wants to get fully involved in Xeneize politics: “He was at my house for dinner and we talked.” He also confirmed the information reported on that radio station that the former tennis player allegedly said, “we have to unite, and I want to play a role, I want something serious”, because “they took away his box and he can’t go to the stadium.”

Beraldi’s statements about Del Potro.

The businessman added: “he definitely wants to take part in the life of Boca, and I already told him yes. We have to keep him in mind because he’s someone who adds value. Besides, he’s an international figure.” Along the same lines, he said he would call Gabriel Batistuta again, who had been chosen as his manager in the event of winning the 2019 elections, which did not happen because he was the least-voted candidate behind Jorge Amor Ameal—who won those elections—and Christian Gribaudo.

This move by Beraldi with Delpo is one of the first signs ahead of the next elections, which are already shaping up to be as eventful as ever. A couple of days ago, Sebastián Battaglia publicly declared his support for Jorge Reale, another figure positioning himself as a presidential candidate.
