Sergio Ramos will be the new owner of Sevilla in exchange for 450 million euros.

After reaching a definitive agreement with the current owners and the investment fund Five Eleven Capital, Sergio Ramos is one step away from becoming the main shareholder of Sevilla.

The operation, which involves the acquisition of nearly 80% of the club's share capital, valued at around 450 million euros, is only awaiting the signing of the documents and the approval of the Higher Sports Council (CSD). The process also includes the transfer of key shares, including those belonging to José María del Nido Benavente and the current president José María del Nido Carrasco.

The negotiations were resolved in a series of intense meetings at the Sevilla club, which lasted more than ten hours between Monday and Tuesday. In the final meeting, with the presence of Martin Ink, CEO of the investment fund, sensitive aspects such as the financial structure and the identification of the investors backing the operation were finalized.

The agreement was unlocked after overcoming differences mainly related to the club's debt, which was estimated at around 85 million euros during the "due diligence" process (sale audit). With that point resolved, the parties managed to move towards a total understanding.

Once formally concluded, the former defender, with a past at the Andalusian club and a historic figure of Real Madrid, will lead a new stage at Sevilla, with the financial backing of an investment group and the intention to reorganize the sports and economic project of the entity.
