Sergio Ramos turned 40 on Monday, March 30th. While his playing future remains unconfirmed following his departure from Rayados de Monterrey, the veteran defender shows no signs of slowing down, continuing intense training regimes and even exploring opportunities in boxing. But Ramos’ ambitions extend far beyond the football pitch, encompassing business ventures and creative pursuits as he enters a new chapter of his career.
A Potential Return to Sevilla?
Despite being without a club, Ramos remains focused on football. He’s heavily linked with a potential takeover of Sevilla, the club where he began his professional career. Last week, Ramos and his investment partners at Five Eleven Capital completed the due diligence process, a crucial step towards finalizing a bid for the club. A reported initial offer of €450 million was submitted, alongside other major shareholders, according to reports.
The final figure is expected to be adjusted as negotiations continue, particularly regarding Sevilla’s net debt. While the club initially estimated its debt at under €100 million, it’s now believed to be higher, especially considering the €135 million loan from CVC Capital Partners. The potential acquisition represents a significant move for Ramos, signaling a desire to contribute to the club that launched his illustrious career.
From the Pitch to the Recording Studio
Beyond his potential ownership role at Sevilla, Ramos is actively pursuing interests in music and fashion. In August 2025, he released “Cibeles,” his first solo music single, following earlier collaborations on “La Roja Baila,” the official anthem for the 2016 Spanish national team at the UEFA European Championship, and “No me contradigas” with Los Yakis.
Ramos’ involvement in the music scene extends beyond performance. In November 2025, he attended the Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas, presenting his friend Bad Bunny with the award for Best Urban Music Album. “I always tell people to dream,” Ramos stated on the Spanish television program El Hormiguero. “I spot myself winning a Champions League as a coach, but before that, I see myself winning a Grammy in the next few years.”
A New Venture in Fashion
Ramos has also entered the fashion industry with the launch of his personalized brand, ONE, earlier this month. Designed in New York and produced in Europe, ONE aims to translate the mindset of elite sports – precision, identity, and attention to detail – into the world of apparel. This venture demonstrates Ramos’ expanding portfolio and his commitment to building a diverse range of business interests.
At 40, and after more than two decades in the spotlight as a professional footballer, Sergio Ramos appears poised for a busy and multifaceted future. Whether that future involves a return to the pitch, a leadership role in the boardroom at Sevilla, a Grammy Award, or a presence on the runway, one thing is certain: Ramos is determined to continue making his mark on the world.
Ramos’ time with Monterrey was brief, but notable. He joined the Liga MX side in February 2025, bringing a wealth of experience and leadership to the team. However, his departure following Monterrey’s elimination from the competition came as a surprise to the club’s management, as noted by sporting president José Antonio Noriega. Noriega stated that while contract renewal talks were ongoing, Ramos’ decision to announce his departure immediately after the match was unexpected.
The defender’s career has been defined by success, having won numerous titles with Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, as well as the 2010 FIFA World Cup and the 2008 and 2012 UEFA European Championships with Spain. He has consistently demonstrated leadership qualities and a knack for scoring crucial goals, amassing over 100 goals for Real Madrid. His impact on the game has solidified his reputation as one of the greatest defenders of all time.
As Ramos embarks on this new phase of his career, his ambition and drive remain undiminished. His ventures into music and fashion, coupled with his potential ownership of Sevilla, showcase a desire to explore new challenges and leave a lasting legacy beyond his playing days. The coming months will be crucial as he navigates these opportunities and defines his next chapter.
