Sergio Ramos: Sevilla FC Takeover & Nice Link

After Sergio Ramos as a player, will we have Sergio Ramos as an owner? If the career of the former Real Madrid captain (39 years old), who played for Paris Saint-Germain, is not yet over, the future is already taking shape according to the Spanish press.

Facing great financial difficulties, in debt to the tune of more than 60 million euros, Sevilla FC, Sergio Ramos’ training club, is currently looking for a buyer. According to Cadena SER radio, the former Spanish international (180 caps, 23 goals), at the head of a group of investors, would have made an offer to buy the club.

An American investment fund held the lead until recently, according to the media, but would have drastically reduced its offer in view of the financial situation of the club, more worrying than anticipated. In this situation, the track leading to the group led by the former number 4 of PSG would have gained weight.

Trained at Sevilla FC, Sergio Ramos spent eight years in the club’s academies then one season as a professional (2003-04) before returning at the end of his career, twenty years later (2023-24).

Nice denies any contact

On the field side, the Iberian defender will leave Mexico and Monterrey in the coming days, where he has been playing for a little less than a year. Expected for a return to Europe, he has even been cited by OGC Nice in recent days, among other clubs.

A rumor to which Gym president Jean-Pierre Rivère has already responded in the negative. “I don’t know if we were in contact or not, for a moment perhaps, but no, there is no Ramos who is on our shelves,” he declared this Friday, at a press conference on the occasion of the presentation of his new striker Elye Wahi. If that were the case, I wouldn’t tell you, but in this case, that’s not the case. We don’t have to make big names. The important thing is to make a cohesive team. »
