Sevilla FC could be heading toward a significant shift in ownership structure, with Sergio Ramos emerging as a central figure in renewed takeover discussions. According to Deportes COPE Sevilla, a new negotiation window has opened after talks with a U.S.-based investment fund reportedly stalled.

The development marks a potential turning point in a sale process that has been ongoing for months, with ownership discussions now entering a new phase driven by a domestically rooted consortium rather than foreign private equity.

American Fund Steps Back, Space Opens for New Offer

Sources cited by Deportes COPE Sevilla indicate that negotiations with the American investment group have effectively cooled in recent days, with the fund stepping back from advanced talks. As a result, the valuation of the shares under discussion has reportedly softened, creating an opening for alternative bidders.

It is within this context that Sergio Ramos has moved decisively, positioning himself at the head of a well-capitalised investor group prepared to submit a competitive proposal for the club’s shares.

Ramos Submits Highest Offer to Date Sergio Ramos

According to information reported by Deportes COPE Sevilla, Ramos has already presented a formal offer to Sevilla FC’s major shareholders. Sources close to the negotiations describe the proposal as the strongest financial offer received so far, exceeding previous bids that had been put forward during the process.

One source quoted by the outlet described the situation as follows:

“The offer placed on the table is the most significant that has been made so far."

Ramos is understood to be acting as the public and strategic lead of the consortium, backed by investors who have entrusted him with responsibility for shaping the project and representing it in talks with current shareholders.

Shareholder Reaction Still Pending

Despite the scale of the proposal, no final decision has been taken. Sevilla FC’s board and principal shareholders are expected to assess the offer carefully, particularly given the abrupt halt in discussions with the American fund. As with any transaction of this magnitude, multiple variables remain unresolved, including governance structure, future capital commitments, and shareholder alignment.
