Defender and Five Eleven Capital fund negotiate with shareholders of the Spanish club; operation depends on official approval
Defender Sergio Ramos, 40, and Five Eleven Capital have reached an agreement with Sevilla’s main shareholders on the purchase of the Spanish club, according to the Spanish newspaper . The established value is 450 million euros (around R$2 billion) and is awaiting approval from the Spanish Superior Sports Council.
2010 World Cup champion, Sergio Ramos began his professional career at Sevilla in 2003, where he played until 2005, before moving to Real Madrid. The defender returned to Sevilla for the 2023-24 season and, despite not having announced retirement, has been without a club since December 2025, when he left Monterrey, from Mexico.
The letter of intent signed by Ramos and Five Eleven Capital in January expires on May 31. The payment model will be adjusted according to the division in which Sevilla is competing.
Spanish legislation requires prior authorization from the National Sports Council for acquisitions of 25% or more of the capital of a SAD (Sociedade Anônima Desportiva). The procedure aims to “guarantee the suitability of the investor and the stability of the club”.
In addition to purchasing the shares, the group will have to carry out a capital increase of 80 to 100 million euros (from R$460 million to R$575 million).
After signing the purchase and sale contracts, other bureaucratic steps will still need to be completed.
