The investment firm Five Eleven Capital, linked to former Spain defender Sergio Ramos, is close to finalising a takeover of Sevilla, with negotiations reportedly entering their final stage this week.
Reports indicate that talks were fast-tracked ahead of the club’s closing LaLiga fixtures, with only formal approval from Spain’s National Sports Council and final documentation still pending.
The deal is valued at approximately €450 million for a majority stake, although the final amount could change depending on Sevilla’s league status.
Under the agreement, the new owners are expected to settle the club’s outstanding debts and inject an additional €80 million to €100 million in fresh capital to strengthen finances and support spending under LaLiga’s financial regulations.
The consortium reportedly stepped in after an American bidder withdrew following concerns over Sevilla’s financial records. Despite that setback, Ramos’ group proceeded, signing a letter of intent in January and securing an exclusivity period to complete the deal.
Although that exclusivity period is due to end on May 31, the takeover is now expected to be concluded earlier, with the group keen to provide immediate financial stability as the season winds down.
