Sevilla’s Future in the Balance: Sergio Ramos-Led Takeover Enters Decisive Days
The countdown has begun. The offer is on the table, the deadline is ticking, and Sevilla’s future could change forever… or stay exactly the same.
A Crucial Week for the Club’s Future
Sevilla FC is living through days that could define its institutional future. One week has passed since Sergio Ramos, alongside his brother René Ramos and his personal advisor Julio Senn, formally presented a purchase offer to the club’s Board of Directors at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium.
The proposal, backed by major international investment funds, is valued at around €400 million, with the former Sevilla captain acting as a visible shareholder and figurehead of the project. However, it is not the only offer currently under consideration — nor the one with top priority at this stage.
Debt, the Major Obstacle
According to sources close to the negotiations, optimism is limited within Sergio Ramos’ camp. The main stumbling block is the club’s significant debt, which could reach close to €200 million, a burden that any potential buyer would have to assume.
Moreover, the Ramos-led bid was not the first to arrive. Another proposal — considered the priority option — reached its deadline yesterday, opening the door to multiple scenarios, from a full change of ownership to the continuity of the current Board of Directors.
LaLiga Watching Closely
The situation has drawn the attention of LaLiga, which is closely monitoring the operation due to its potential impact on financial fair play regulations.
Sporting concerns only add to the tension. Sevilla currently sit 14th in the table with 22 points, just two points above the relegation zone. A worst-case scenario — relegation to the second division — would be a major sporting blow, even though the club would receive financial assistance under Spain’s centralized TV rights regulations.
Days That Could Change Everything
The coming days will be decisive. Sergio Ramos’ offer remains alive, but surrounded by uncertainty. Debt, deadlines, and sporting pressure have turned this potential takeover into one of the most delicate operations in Spanish football in recent years.
Sevilla stand at a crossroads. And this time, they are not just fighting for points — they are fighting for their future.
