Sergio Ramos’ proposed takeover of Sevilla has completely collapsed after the Real Madrid legend drastically altered the terms of his bid.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Negotiations were abruptly terminated on Wednesday when the former defender returned to the table with a heavily reduced offer, prompting the selling party to walk away from what was supposed to be a historic deal for the Andalusian club.<\/p>\n
According to El Desmarque<\/i>, Sevilla have ended negotiations with Ramos and his investment group following a dramatic shift in their proposal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two weeks ago, a letter of intent was signed for a massive \u20ac440 million takeover. This initial agreement included \u20ac80m for a capital increase, \u20ac290m for shareholders, and the remaining funds allocated to clear the club’s estimated net debt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The selling party had even agreed to grant a payment extension while absorbing any losses incurred until the final signature.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ramos had assured the current owners that the payment guarantees would be provided, making the sudden U-turn this Wednesday highly unexpected.<\/p>\n
The situation deteriorated when Ramos arrived at Wednesday’s meeting with a new representative. Roberto Alvarez, a prestigious sports lawyer acting on behalf of a Mexican family set to co-lead the project, replaced the previous advisors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The new consortium presented radically different terms, cutting the valuation in half to a \u20ac220m operation. Under this revised structure, \u20ac120m would be injected into an urgent capital increase, giving the group a 42% controlling stake.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The remaining \u20ac100m would then be used to purchase another 18% from existing shareholders, granting them total control while rendering the remaining shares essentially worthless.<\/p>\n
Unsurprisingly, the current ownership immediately rejected the altered proposal. The selling party unilaterally broke off the agreement, considering the new financial conditions completely unacceptable for the club’s future.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By not specifying which exact shares they intended to buy, the prospective buyers planned to launch a general public offer, a move that would leave the current owners heavily marginalized.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Furthermore, this downgraded bid was actually significantly lower than an alternative proposal previously submitted by another investment group, which the board of directors had not even entertained at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sudden collapse leaves everyone involved feeling as though five long months of intense negotiations have been entirely wasted.<\/p>\n
Sevilla now face a race against time to secure vital investment. With the mandatory capital increase remaining an absolute necessity, the club must quickly seek out a new buyer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fortunately for the Andalusian outfit, several new investors have already knocked on the door to reactivate their interest, meaning fresh negotiations could begin very shortly.<\/p>\n
