Sergio Ramos Takes Ownership of Sevilla
Former Spain national team defender Sergio Ramos is set to become the new owner of Spanish club Sevilla. The two sides have reached a preliminary agreement for the sale of the club, as reported by Glavcom citing insider Fabrizio Romano. The estimated value of the deal is €450 million.
Ramos managed the acquisition process alongside his brother Rene. A key milestone in the transaction was securing support from the investment holding company Five Eleven Capital. The distribution of ownership stakes following the change remains undisclosed.
Sergio Ramos' Career Highlights
Born in the outskirts of Seville, Sergio Ramos began his career at the club bearing the city's name, making his debut for Sevilla during the 2003/04 season. After two campaigns with the team, he transferred to Real Madrid for €27 million. Over 16 seasons at Real Madrid, Ramos achieved the following:
- five La Liga titles,
- two Copa del Rey wins and four Spanish Super Cups,
- four UEFA Champions League triumphs,
- three UEFA Super Cups and four FIFA Club World Cup victories.
He spent two years at Paris Saint-Germain, winning two Ligue 1 titles and the French Super Cup, and most recently played for Mexican side Monterrey.
With the Spanish national team, Ramos celebrated two European Championship victories and became a world champion in 2010.
During the 2025/26 season, Sevilla is competing only on the domestic front. The team was eliminated from the Copa del Rey by Alavés (0-1) in the round of 32, and with three matchdays remaining in La Liga, they sit in 13th place with 40 points.
The acquisition of Sevilla by Sergio Ramos is a landmark event not just for the club itself, but for Spanish football as a whole. As a former player, Ramos has a deep understanding of the team's structure and needs, which could aid in its recovery and performance improvement. Given the club's current standing in domestic competitions, the new owner—bolstered by investor backing—may drive positive changes to help restore Sevilla to the top of Spanish football.
