Ramos Poised to Secure Sevilla Ownership
Sergio Ramos is finalizing terms to acquire Sevilla FC, marking a historic return to the club that shaped his career. A consortium of Sevilla shareholders has agreed to exclusive negotiations with the 47-year-old, per Cadena SER.
The deal—valued at approximately €450 million—would grant Ramos and his partner, Martin Ink of Five Eleven Capital, full access to the club’s financial records for due diligence. A letter of intent, signed by the board, commits to negotiating solely with the Spain World Cup winner.
From Academy Graduate to Club Owner
Ramos rose through Sevilla’s youth ranks, debuting as a right-back in 2003. After three seasons in Nervión, he joined Real Madrid for a then-record fee, spending 16 years at the Santiago Bernabéu before two seasons at PSG. His emotional return in 2023 lasted just one campaign before a move to Monterrey.
“This isn’t just an investment—it’s a homecoming. Sevilla gave me everything, and I want to give back.”

Financial Turbulence Fuels Urgency
Sevilla’s recent financial volatility—including a €100 million loss in 2022—has accelerated the search for new ownership. Ramos’s bid includes plans to stabilize operations while leveraging his global profile to attract sponsors. His involvement with Five Eleven Capital, a firm specializing in sports investments, adds financial credibility to the proposal.
The audit phase begins immediately, with Ramos expected to finalize the purchase by Q4 2024. If successful, he’ll become the first former player to own a LaLiga club since David Beckham’s Inter Miami venture.
