Sergio Ramos is reportedly on the verge of acquiring his boyhood club, Sevilla, in partnership with investment group Five Eleven Capital, according to Spanish media reports. The proposed transaction is valued at approximately 400 million euros (£347 million), which would see the consortium take an 80 per cent stake in the club, with shares estimated at 3,500 euros each.
Deal Pending Approval
The deal's completion is contingent upon receiving official approval from both La Liga and the Spanish National Sports Council. Sevilla, despite their Europa League victory last season, are currently embroiled in a relegation battle in La Liga, sitting 13th and only three points clear of the drop zone with three games left.
Ramos's Return
Ramos, a highly decorated defender who won 22 major trophies with Real Madrid, began his youth career at Sevilla and made a brief return to the club for a season in 2023. The 40-year-old has long been linked with a move into club ownership, and this acquisition would mark a significant homecoming.
The consortium's offer values Sevilla at around €500 million, with Ramos and Five Eleven Capital contributing the majority of the funds. If approved, Ramos would become one of the few former players to own a top-flight club in Spain.
