aDespite refusing to extend his working relationship with Rayados de Monterrey, the legendary Spanish defender is reportedly close to starting a new chapter as club owner.

Sergio Ramos and the possibility of a historic return to Sevilla
Although he has not yet announced his retirement as a footballer, Sergio Ramos currently does not have a team and has already begun to look outside the pitch. The Andalusian defender took a solid step into the world of business by submitting a bid of around 400 million euros for Sevilla, a team with which he has strong emotional ties.
According to information from Radio Sevilla and confirmed by EFE, the proposal was informally communicated to some shareholders several weeks ago.
The figures are said to have persuaded the ownership family to agree to an exclusive negotiation period to scrutinize the club’s accounts and assess the feasibility of a deal.
Why does Sergio Ramos want to buy Sevilla?
Ramos is no stranger to Sanchez-Pizjuan. Sevilla was a team that nurtured him as a footballer and was so good that he was sought after by Real Madrid, the club where he played his best football.
The Spanish defender played for the first team twice, once before joining Los Blancos and once after leaving PSG in 2021. However, this third period will see him take on a completely different role as owner, with the aim of bringing stability and long-term vision and returning the legendary team to the top of La Liga.
Sergio Ramos partners with Martin Inc. to buy Sevilla
To carry out this ambitious operation, Sergio Ramos teamed up with Martin Inc., an Argentine businessman who is the CEO of US-owned soccer holding company Five Eleven Capital. This partnership aims to provide financial support to the project and ensure it has the necessary economic strength to compete at the elite level of Spanish football.
Five-Eleven Capital is familiar with Sevilla’s environment and the group has professional links with the club’s current sporting director, Antonio Cordon, which could strengthen ties between the parties and facilitate the negotiation process.
Where will Sergio Ramos play in 2026?
Sergio Ramos is a free agent after leaving Liga MX, but is currently not in the team and as he approaches his 40th birthday, the Spanish defender is likely to choose to announce his retirement from professional football in order to focus on his role as co-owner and his foray into urban music.
