Sevilla defender Sergio Ramos may be set for his final game at the club, having returned last summer to anchor their defense in a season where their ship has endured many storms. However, the budget they will have to do so seems to be minimal.
Los Nervionenses will finish somewhere between 11th and 16th depending on how the results go in the last weekend of the season, but what is confirmed is that it will be the first season in a decade where they have not qualified for Europe . While their Europa League win took them to the Champions League last summer, it's been two seasons where their league form has looked closer to relegation material than Europe.
“A lot of things have to change. We showed the face with the children who come with a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of hunger and to go to war, I want people like that who get up, suffer and feel the colors for the situation that this club is in today”, Ramos said. AS Diary.
In his own future, Ramos was less arrived, saying the following.
“I live from day to day, as my father told me, enjoying every moment as if it were the last.”
It could be his last game at the club against Barcelona on Sunday night, and he has been heavily linked with a move to Major League Soccer and San Diego FC in particular.
According to Relief, the Sporting Director Victor Orta has to work with very reduced resources. His salary cap as of February was €152 million, but next season expect that to drop to around €75 million, less than half of his current total.
This would require cuts, and Marcos Acuna, Youssouf En-Nesyri and Suso have deals until 2025, but are expected to leave. Rafa Mir, Adnan Januzaj, Joan Jordan, Tanguy Nianzou and Marcao are all on their way out of the club.
It looks a grim prospect for Sevilla, who are still looking for a new manager to join them this summer, after the exit of Quique Sanchez Flores was confirmed. Sevilla looked like they would go for Osasuna manager Jagoba Arrasate, but now Diego Martinez and Garcia Pimienta are gaining traction as options.
