Del Nido rules out signing Sergio Ramos due to the salary cap. The president of Sevilla FC was clear regarding the possibility of signing Sergio Ramos as a free agent. "Everyone knows how much I care for him, how hard I fought to bring him here and also to keep him with us. But for me, it's incompatible to analyze the financial situation of being the owner of the club—the player's interest in a company he's involved in being able to buy Sevilla's shares—and for him to be able to play. Furthermore, we don't have a salary cap, and LaLiga takes into account a series of conditions even if he wants to play." "free."

The phrase highlights that the problem is not only sporting, but structural. LaLiga's salary cap and financial control regulations prevent moves that, in other contexts, might seem viable.

Can Sergio Ramos buy shares in Sevilla?

Regarding the possibility of Sergio Ramos participating in a potential share purchase operation, Del Nido explained:

"They have shown interest in learning about the club's situation," but that he is "focused on the day-to-day and, during this sales process, someone has to run the club, which could last a day, a month, a year, a year and a half...".

Sevilla and the fight against relegation: confidence in Almeyda and Cordon

On the sporting front, Sevilla is experiencing a complex season, immersed in the fight to avoid relegation.Del Nido acknowledged that this scenario was possible since the summer planning sessions with sporting director Antonio Cordon and coach Matias Almeyda.

“I speak with Matias, as well as Antonio, every day. He's a strong coach, a fighter, and the ideal person to lead this Sevilla team. He's won everything in the world of football, just like Antonio, and both have stepped out of their comfort zones to come here. Working miracles to register a player, with all the limitations imposed by LaLiga.”

Del Nido responds to the chants at the Sanchez-Pizjuan

The tension has also spread to the stands of the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan, where chants against the president have been heard.

“It's one thing for your fans to chant 'Junior, leave now,' and another thing entirely for them to chant 'Junior, "Die." Having people wish you dead isn't pleasant, and I understand that everyone has to condemn it. I don't have to say anything to the fans, but many times, when I go to bed, I think about whether it's worth continuing, but I accept being the bad guy in this story, and I do it out of a sense of responsibility." Despite the hostile atmosphere, Del Nido assured that he will remain at the helm as long as he has the support of the Board of Directors. not." The priority: guaranteeing Sevilla's survival. The president was emphatic in explaining his management approach, focused on economic viability after not competing in European competitions like the Champions League. "As president, I have a clear conscience knowing that we are following a roadmap, reducing expenses that cannot be sustained due to not being in the Champions League."

“I make decisions to guarantee the club's survival. Although it's tough, the decisions we make are necessary for Sevilla.”

He also emphasized that “Sevilla has implemented the appropriate mechanisms to avoid being subject to dissolution.”

Amid institutional uncertainty, sporting pressure, and LaLiga's salary cap restrictions, Sevilla FC faces one of the most delicate moments in its recent history. Meanwhile, Sergio Ramos's return remains on hold and subject to a financial reality that allows no exceptions.
