Sergio Ramos is on the verge of buying his boyhood club Sevilla after reaching an agreement with the club’s major shareholders, according to Spanish media reports.
Spanish outlet El Pais reported that Ramos and investment group Five Eleven Capital have agreed a deal worth around 400 million euros (470 million dollars), covering 80 per cent of the club’s total shares at an estimated 3,500 euros per share. The transaction still requires approval from LaLiga and the Spanish National Sports Council before it can be completed.
The news comes at a turbulent time for the Andalusian club. Sevilla, who won the Europa League in 2022-23, are currently 13th in LaLiga but sit just three points above the relegation zone with three games remaining. They finished 17th last season, surviving by a single point.
Ramos, 40, began his career in Sevilla’s youth academy before joining Real Madrid in 2005, where he went on to win 22 major trophies across all competitions. On the international stage, he won the World Cup and two European Championships with Spain. He returned to Sevilla in 2023 for one season before his last stint at Mexican club Monterrey.
