Little by little, more is becoming known about the offer that has been presented. Sergio Ramos to buy the Sevilla beyond the fact that it is the most important that the club’s shareholders have received to date. Although the central 39 years is looking for a team after his departure from Rayados de Monterrey, a group of investors has placed their trust in him to lead the project once they acquire the Seville team.
Before the emergence of Sergio Ramos, Sevilla was going to be sold to an American fund that was going to disburse an amount greater than the 3.400 euros per share. However, according to Muchodeporte, the ‘due diligence’ initiated to find out the club’s financial situation stopped initial expectations cold.
This is something that Sergio Ramos wanted to take advantage of, who, together with an investment group, has presented an offer close to the 400 million of euros to acquire 100% of the share capital of Sevilla according to The Athletic.
The main unknown lies in the valuation made of the loan that CVC Capital Partners granted to the majority of LaLiga clubs in 2021, including the Seville team, and whether it is considered debt. The Nervión club, like the employers’ association, understands that this participatory loan is not part of the debt, but if not, it could affect the total amount of the purchase proposal presented by Sergio Ramos.
Sergio Ramos’ problem in buying Sevilla
Regarding the 400 million euros, they would be allocated to the ‘business value’ of the club, that is, it would not include an economic injection via a capital increase with which to clean up the accounts. This fact would be an obstacle in the process since Sevilla’s intention with the possible sale is precisely to recover economic potential to return to sporting success as soon as possible.
