Sergio Ramos is getting closer to securing his purchase of Sevilla.

After leaving Monterrey, the Spanish world champion wants to become the owner of a club, Sevilla. The same club that developed him as a footballer and defender before he joined Real Madrid. Technically, Ramos hasn’t retired yet; this could be his opportunity to transition into coaching a team.

He has not retired yet

The spaniard Sergio Ramos, who has yet to announce his retirement as a footballer and who played for Mexico’s Rayados de Monterrey until December, has reached a preliminary agreement with Sevilla’s main shareholders, with whom he will negotiate the purchase of the Spanish top-flight club where he came thru the youth ranks and for whose first team he played in two stints.

A multimillion-dollar offer for the club.

The offer of around 400 million euros that Sergio Ramos informally communicated to some shareholders two weeks ago has convinced the owning families, with whom an exclusive negotiation period will be opened to review the accounts, as Radio Sevilla has reported and EFE has been able to confirm.

Sergio Ramos & Five Eleven Capital

The Andalusian defender has partnered for this operation with Argentine businessman Martín Ink, CEO of Five Eleven Capital, a U.S.-capitalized football holding company to which the Extremaduran coach Antonio Cordón, currently Sevilla’s sporting director, has been professionally linked.
