Sergio Ramos Becomes Owner of Sevilla: €450 Million Deal Agreed. Sergio Ramos has completed negotiations to acquire Sevilla and is set to become the club's new owner. The deal is valued at 450 million euros. Official confirmation is expected after legal procedures are finalized.
Sergio Ramos has agreed to purchase Sevilla FC for 450 million euros and will soon officially become its new owner. This was reported by journalist Fabrizio Romano, who noted that both parties have already reached all key agreements and that final legal procedures are now underway before the public announcement.
According to Cadena Ser radio, the deal between Ramos and Sevilla's current shareholders has been fully agreed upon. The 40-year-old defender, who has played for his hometown club in recent years, is now changing his status—from a player to one of Spain's largest football investors.
Ramos is a product of the Sevilla youth academy. He made his first-team debut in 2004, and after a long and successful career at Real Madrid and his return to Sevilla in the 2023–2024 season, he became part of the Andalusian club once again. During his years at Real Madrid, he won the Spanish league five times, the national cup twice, the Champions League four times, the Club World Cup four times, and the UEFA Super Cup three times. With the Spanish national team, Ramos became a World Champion and twice a European Champion.
At the time of the deal, Sevilla is ranked 13th in the La Liga standings, with 40 points after 35 rounds. This new chapter in the club's history could change its strategy and ambitions: having an owner with such a football background could influence internal operations and the team's approach to development.
The transition of well-known athletes into management and investment roles is becoming a noticeable trend in the European market. Similar processes are taking place in other sectors: for example, Spain's automotive market has recently shifted with the arrival of new players, which was covered in detail in the article about the launch of the Dacia Striker — how new models are changing the balance of power among budget cars.
Experts note that the involvement of former stars in club management can boost interest from fans and investors, as well as add extra momentum to the development of the football industry in Spain. Official confirmation of the deal is expected in the coming weeks, following the completion of all formal procedures.
