Sergio Ramos on verge of owning Sevilla with an Argentine partner | OneFootball

The Spanish center-back, without a team since the start of the year, is one signature away from becoming the owner of the Andalusian club. It will be made official in the coming hours.

In the middle of a half-season that has kept him out of official action, Sergio Ramos is close to becoming the new owner of Sevilla. After a positive meeting, only the signing remains for Five Eleven Capital, the group represented by the Spaniard, to take over the Andalusian club with an investment of more than 400 million euros.

Confirmation came early Tuesday, after Alberto Pérez Solano, the club’s lawyer, acknowledged the agreement following a meeting between the parties. Only a few bureaucratic details remain before the sale of the institution can be announced.

Those attending the meeting included former president José Castro, the Carrión family, board member Carolina Alés, the aforementioned Pérez Solano, Martin Ink, Sergio Ramos, René Ramos (the player’s brother), and Julio Senn. In Spain, reports say the meeting was more than positive.

The agreement comes in a very complicated sporting context for the Andalusian club, which is battling to stay in LaLiga for next season. In fact, although the deal was closed at a figure above 400 million, that amount would drop considerably if the team is relegated.

For the operation to be fully completed, approval is still needed from LaLiga and the Higher Sports Council (CSD). They will be responsible for verifying the financial solvency of the new owners and ensuring compliance with regulations regarding ownership changes at professional clubs.

Martín Ink, Sergio Ramos’s Argentine partner

The CEO of Five Eleven Capital is Martín Ink, a businessman born in 1974 with extensive experience in buying and selling companies. He holds a degree in Business Administration from the Argentine University of Enterprise (UADE), with additional postgraduate studies at Austral University.

Sevilla’s current sporting situation

Sevilla are wrapping up a season marked by inconsistency. Just 11 wins in 35 matches leave them entering the final stretch only 3 points above the relegation zone, even though they sit 13th in the standings due to the similarly poor form of other teams.

Luis García’s side have three tough matches left to try to secure their survival, and two of them are away from home: Villarreal at the Estadio de la Cerámica (Wednesday), Real Madrid at the Sánchez-Pizjuán (Sunday 17-5), and Celta de Vigo at Balaídos (Saturday 23-5).
