Sergio Ramos Leads Investor Bid to Buy Sevilla FC

Spanish rules would bar him from playing domestically if he takes a significant ownership stake.

Overview

  • Reports say a Ramos-led group has submitted a formal proposal to principal Sevilla shareholders, including blocs tied to José María del Nido and José Castro.
  • Talks with a previously favored U.S. investment fund have stalled after due diligence concerns, creating space for alternative bids.
  • Club filings show roughly €70 million in debt and around €50 million in recent losses, with a fragmented shareholding structure weighing on governance.
  • Under Spain’s sports law and RFEF statutes, an active player with a significant stake in a LaLiga club cannot compete in Spanish professional competitions.
  • Ramos recently ended his stint with Monterrey and is evaluating next steps, while negotiations over Sevilla’s ownership remain active and unresolved.
