Sergio Ramos, Five Eleven Capital Reach Deal in Principle to Buy Majority of Sevilla

Regulatory approval now decides the deal’s fate under rules that bar active player-owners.

Overview

  • Spanish media reported Tuesday that Ramos and Five Eleven agreed to acquire about 80% of Sevilla for roughly €400–450 million, with shares priced near €3,500 each.
  • The proposal includes issuing new shares and an immediate €80–100 million cash injection to ease financial strain and raise the club’s league salary cap.
  • Completion depends on approval from LaLiga and Spain’s National Sports Council, plus final paperwork and notarisation, and neither Sevilla nor Five Eleven has issued an official confirmation.
  • Spanish regulations prohibit active players from owning clubs in the same league, which would push Ramos to retire or play abroad if he assumes an ownership role.
  • Sevilla have struggled near the relegation places in back-to-back seasons, so new funding and a leadership reset could steady finances and support a squad rebuild.
