Former Real Madrid and Spain captain Sergio Ramos is on the verge of completing a historic takeover of his boyhood club Sevilla, after signing an agreement in principle to purchase the La Liga side.
Sources close to the deal confirmed that Ramos has already put pen to paper on the preliminary agreement. Only the official notary certification remains before the transaction is fully completed, marking one of the most high-profile player-to-owner transitions in European football.

The 39-year-old defender, who came through Sevilla’s academy before departing for Real Madrid in 2005, has long expressed a desire to return to the club in a leadership capacity. If finalized, the deal would see Ramos take ownership of the club where he made his professional debut and spent eight years as a youth and senior player.
“This has always been home for me,” Ramos said in a brief statement. “Sevilla gave me everything, and now I have the opportunity to give back.”

The agreement comes at a critical time for Sevilla, who have faced financial and sporting challenges in recent seasons. Ramos is expected to bring both investment and stability, with reports suggesting he has backing from a consortium of Spanish and international investors.
Once the notary certification is complete, Ramos will become one of the few active or recently retired players to own a top-flight European club. The move has been met with widespread approval from Sevilla supporters, many of whom view the World Cup winner as a symbol of the club’s identity and ambition.
