A consortium led by Sergio Ramos has reached an agreement in principal to buy Sevilla.
Cadena SER who broke the original story report that shareholders have agreed to his takeover that will combine with business partner Martin Ink, a key figure in the Five Eleven Capital group.
Now Ramos has been granted a period of exclusivity to analyse the club’s accounts and make a decision on a takeover.
However, a previous potential American investor was said to be put off after realising how bad the club’s finances were.
A final agreement could take months, but Ramos’ initial offer worth a reported €450million appears to be enough to purchase his former side.
The Real Madrid legend and former captain is a local product and came through the club’s academy before leaving after just one full season in 2005.
He later returned for the 2023/24 campaign to a lukewarm reception, although things could change given the club’s dire finances.
