Canal Sur Radio first reported the meeting, with Marca confirming its details. Ramos arrived at the hotel at 11am alongside his brother René, Argentine businessman Martín Ink — the managing director and founder of the Five Eleven Capital holding company pursuing the acquisition — and members of his family. Alberto Pérez Solano, Sevilla's company secretary who has spent the past 18 months coordinating the sale process, was also present on behalf of the club.
The meeting lasted until approximately 7pm. Ramos's lawyer Julio Senn left the building shortly afterwards without making a statement. The Ramos brothers departed close to 8pm, also declining to comment, though participants on both sides transmitted cautious optimism that the deal can be finalised before the exclusivity period granted to Five Eleven Capital expires at the end of May.
Should any unresolved points prevent a deal in that window, other prospective buyers could formally approach the shareholders. Ramos's group want to close before that deadline to avoid being outbid.
The timing of the meeting coincided with the official confirmation of Monchi's appointment as Espanyol sporting director — a development that effectively closes the door on one of the key scenarios that had been discussed alongside the Ramos takeover. Monchi had been linked with a return to Sevilla as part of the new ownership structure, reportedly offered a more executive role than the one Espanyol have now given him. That path is now blocked.
Ramos has made no secret of his attachment to Sevilla, the club where he developed as a youth player and made his senior debut before joining Real Madrid in 2005. He has issued consistent public messages of concern about the club's situation throughout this season, as the Andalusian side fight relegation from La Liga.
Sevilla currently sit 16th with three games remaining, one point above the relegation zone. The football battle and the ownership battle are being fought simultaneously — and both remain unresolved.
