Sergio Ramos is seriously aiming to buy the club where he began his professional career.
Details: According to The Athletic, former Spain captain Sergio Ramos is heading up an investment group preparing a bid to acquire Sevilla. The total value of the deal is estimated at around €400 million, with the consortium also including foreign investors.
It is noted that Ramos will not be the largest investor if the deal goes through, but he is leading the project and serves as its public face.
The proposal involves acquiring 100% of the club’s shares, but the final price will depend on Sevilla’s exact debt assessment, as the liabilities could be around €180 million. The definitive numbers will be revealed after an external audit ordered by the potential buyers.
The project is still at the evaluation stage, but it has already generated significant buzz among fans, given Ramos’s special bond with his boyhood club.
Recall: Sevilla’s Marcão received a lengthy suspension after an argument with the referee.
