Sergio Ramos announced progress on a potential takeover of his former club Sevilla, with news expected in weeks. The 40-year-old defender leads a consortium backed by Five Eleven Capital. An ownership change comes amid Sevilla's fight against LaLiga relegation.
Sergio Ramos revealed that talks for acquiring a stake in Sevilla are advancing steadily. 'I think there will be some news in a few months, or even weeks, and we hope it will be the news we’re all hoping for,' Ramos said. 'Everything is going well.' The project has sparked optimism among supporters and key figures like former sporting director Monchi, who back the initiative Ramos has pursued since late 2025. Ramos, a Sevilla academy product and 2010 World Cup winner with Spain, departed CF Monterrey in December without retiring. 'I’m feeling great,' he said. 'I’m spending a lot of time with my family at the moment and am really enjoying it.' A successful deal would bar him from playing in Spain due to regulations on ownership stakes. Sevilla's struggles have heightened urgency for stability. The club won nine and lost 15 of 31 LaLiga matches this season, sitting two points above the relegation zone with seven games left. They narrowly escaped the drop last term after years of off-pitch instability. Fans view Ramos' involvement as a potential turning point for the club he once called home.
