Sergio Ramos Signals Progress on Sevilla Takeover Bid

The push signals fresh investment to steady a club near the drop zone.

Overview

  • Sergio Ramos, who spoke to reporters Tuesday in Seville, said he expects news on his effort to buy Sevilla in "a few months, or even weeks."
  • Reports say he is leading a consortium backed by Five Eleven Capital that is working to buy control of the LaLiga club.
  • Sevilla have nine wins and 15 losses in 31 league games, leaving them two points above the relegation places with seven matches left.
  • League rules bar an active player from owning a club in the same competition, which would force Ramos to retire or continue his career abroad if the deal closes.
  • Supporters have welcomed the plan, and former sporting director Monchi has voiced approval, reflecting local hope for a reset after years of instability.
