After a meeting on Monday that lasted almost ten hours, Ramos, together with his trusted lawyer, Julio Senn, and the CEO of 5 Eleven Capital, the Argentine Martin Inxhad a new meeting this Tuesday with representatives of the families that own Sevilla (Del Nido, Carrión, Alés, Castro and Guijarro) that have culminated in a “full agreement”, negotiation sources confirmed to EFE.
The agreement reached, which must still be signed in a notary and authorized by the CSD, establishes the sale of, approximately, 60 percent of the club’s share capital, which has been valued at just over 400 million euros (about $470 million dollars), according to sources.
The former Spanish international’s first approach to the ownership of Sevilla took place in the last days of 2025 and negotiations intensified starting in March, when the two parties signed a letter of intent (LOI), which provided for exclusivity for the potential buyer until May 31.
Although the intention to carry out the sale was firm on both sides, Sevilla’s delicate economic situation caused a point of friction not in the valuation of the company, between 400 and 450 million euros ($470-$528 million dollars), but in how the enormous debt it has would affect the price paid per share.
The ‘due diligence’ (sale audit) carried out by the international consulting firm KPMG confirmed the most optimistic forecasts of the board of directors, which estimated the entity’s debt at around 85 million (about $100 million dollars), which has finally unlocked the operation.
After noon this Tuesday, Sergio Ramos, former soccer player for Sevilla, Valid Madrid, PSG and Mexican Monterrey, left the hotel in Seville (southwest of Spain) where the conversations were taking place, smiling and responding with thumbs up to the question of whether the sale of Sevilla had been carried outwhich was confirmed to EFE both by those around Camas and by sources close to the club.
The possibility of Sevilla, a team that dismissed Argentine coach Matías Almeyda in March due to poor results, being relegated to LaLiga Hypermotion (Spanish Second Division) has been contemplated during the negotiation and It is an eventuality that would entail a significant reduction in the acquisition price, the negotiation sources pointed out.
Sevilla is thirteenth, with 40 points, three more than the penultimate classified in LaLiga EA Sports (Primera), which marks the relegation line, with three days left until the conclusion of the tournament, in which Luis García Plaza’s team must face Villarreal (3rd in the table), Valid Madrid (2nd) and Celta (6th).
