Sergio Ramos’ collapsed takeover of former side Sevilla will result in a financial penalty.
Marca report that the ex-defender will be punished for breaking an agreement on the purchase of his boyhood side.
Ramos signed a letter of intent to buy the club at the start of 2026 which expires today, May 31st, without a deal in place.
An agreement was reached on March 12th for a reported €450million takeover which included paying off the club’s €85m debt.
However, it was reported on Thursday that Ramos had broken the terms of the agreement, offering new conditions which the club rejected.
An unnamed spokesperson told El Pais: “The agreement has fallen apart and is broken.
“We were stunned because he wanted to buy Sevilla for barely 100 million euros. Then carry out a capital increase of just over 100 million and pay much less to the shareholders.
“We feel deceived by these five months.”
Marca add that the €100m offer would’ve amounted to 32,000 shares, around 18% of the club.
Ramos has since hinted at his upset on social media, liking an Instagram post which read: “Shareholder greed ruins the sale of the club. They are the worst thing that has ever happened to the club.”
He has now scheduled a press conference for Monday evening to explain his side of the story, and foot.mundo will keep you updated on what he says.
