Legendary Defender Submits Highest Offer Yet Amid Stalled American Talks.

Sergio Ramos bid to buy Sevilla

In a stunning development for La Liga, Sergio Ramos has emerged as the frontrunner to purchase his boyhood club Sevilla FC. The 39-year-old Spanish legend, currently a free agent after leaving Rayados de Monterrey, is leading a consortium of investors that has submitted the highest formal offer to date for the Andalusian side.

According to reliable Spanish outlet COPE and confirmed by Cadena SER, Ramos’s group has presented an official proposal to Sevilla’s major shareholders, aiming for full ownership. This bid reportedly surpasses all previous offers, including one from a US investment fund that significantly cooled after due diligence revealed the club’s financial challenges – reducing their per-share offer from €3,400 to €2,700.

Ramos, who came through Sevilla’s academy and returned for an emotional 2023/24 season, is positioned as the public face and driving force behind the project. Backed by substantial funding, his involvement adds immense symbolic value, potentially appealing to fans given his deep roots at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.

Sevilla has faced institutional instability in recent years, making a stable takeover crucial. While other groups, including local consortia, remain in the race, Ramos’s entry has dramatically shifted the landscape.

If successful, Spanish regulations (the ‘anti-Piqué law’) could prevent Ramos from registering as a player in La Liga, likely ending any hopes of an on-pitch return.

This story continues to evolve rapidly, blending football nostalgia with high-stakes business.
