Sevilla FC’s Financial Stability and Future Plans

The sale of Sevilla FC remains a prominent topic as the club navigates the upcoming months. The process is far from over. In the meantime, the organization follows a strategic plan aimed at stabilizing its financial situation and meeting the established deadlines to achieve budgetary equilibrium this season.

In an interview with Palco23, a media outlet focused on economic information in the sports sector, President Del Nido Carrasco expressed optimism about reaching break-even status, stating that it could occur “as soon as this year.” This optimism is largely attributed to the swift repayment of a €178 million loan to Goldman Sachs: “We have executed it more quickly than we initially projected, which was over three years.”

The club was aware that “losses would occur; we estimated being in the red for three years,” due to poor sporting results in recent seasons. Nonetheless, the president dismisses following the path of clubs like Cádiz: “Our strategic plan does not include taking Sevilla FC public.” He also ruled out the possibility of bringing in an investor to acquire a shareholding that would grant influence in the club: “Sevilla FC has not considered the option of a partner acquiring part of the equity.”

Among other matters, the president noted that “we are growing across all business lines” and emphasized the upcoming renovations of the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium: “This will enable an increase in ordinary revenue, thanks to a commercial area operating 365 days a year and VIP seating options.” Additionally, there is a necessity to “seek more efficient squads.” The president acknowledged that “with three loaned players and those not included in the coaching staff, costing us €27 million, we are operating with a squad budget of €58 million.”
