Last Monday, José María del Nido Benavente, along with other shareholders such as the Carrión, Alés, Guijarro, and Castro families, issued a statement accusing Sergio Ramos of a "brutal breach" of confidentiality agreements. According to the shareholders, the footballer allegedly disseminated the club's financial information in a manner "damaging to the entity's reputation," which contradicts the official accounts. The statement also warned of potential legal action for "malicious and fraudulent conduct".
Hours later, Sergio Ramos held a press conference in the Andalusian capital, stating that the economic difference for the deal amounted to five million euros. The footballer appealed to the shareholders for help to "revitalize Sevilla," arguing that his offer represented a "great opportunity for the viability" of the club. He denied accusations of "deception" and, referring to the truce among the shareholder families, expressed his hope that "this will serve to unite others who were not so connected before".
Despite Ramos leaving the door open for continued negotiations, relations appear to be broken. The former Sevilla Fútbol Club player mentioned that his initial proposal, recommended by LaLiga and advisors, involved acquiring 85% of the capital with an investment of 80 million for a capital increase, a point that the national body later denied.
The club's economic situation is a cause for concern, with projected losses for the coming years. Ramos pointed to the possibility of "technical bankruptcy or dissolution" if an agreement is not reached. June 30th is shaping up to be a crucial date, especially given the club's inability to strengthen its squad in the transfer market due to expiring contracts.
