Turning 40 is not just any moment for a footballer. In a sport where the elite usually have an expiration date much earlier, reaching this age means entering a decisive phase: the end of the career or a last opportunity to redefine it. In the case of Sergio Ramos, the figure does not mark so much a closure as a transition. The Sevillian defender celebrated his anniversary this March 30 in an open moment, without a team since December after ending his time in Striped from Monterrey, but with multiple offers on the table and a clear priority: his family.
Ramos and his wife
Behind him remains a trajectory that is difficult to match. Ramos was part of one of the most successful generations of Spanish football, with two European Championships (2008 and 2012) and the 2010 World Cup. Real Madrid, where he was captain for years, he won everything. But if there is an image that defines his career, it is that of the 93rd minute in the 2014 Champions League final. That header against Atlético de Madrid not only changed a game, but was recorded in the history of the white club as the beginning of La Décima.
The dream that does not come
For now, his future remains completely open. All options are on the table: continue playing in Spain, accept some of the proposals that come to him from Europe or the Middle East, or even end his career. But there is one idea that stands out above the rest: his desire to return to Sevilla, the club where it all began. Yes, Sergio’s great dream has been to return to Sevilla FC, the entity in which he trained and took his first steps as a professional, a desire that transcends sports and connects directly with his identity.
That return, however, is not only proposed from the playing field. In this context, the Sevillian is even studying the possibility of entering the club’s ownership through his holding company. Five Eleven Capitalwhich he promotes with his partner Martin Ink. The operation, valued between 400 and 450 million of euros, would mean becoming a key figure within the Sevilla structure.
And if something has characterized the camero’s career, it is the ability to build a solid heritage. According to estimates such as those of Celebrity Net Worthhis fortune is around 80 million euros. A figure that not only comes from his sporting contracts, first at Real Madrid, then at PSG and more recently in Mexico, but also from a business vision that he has been able to develop over the years.
One of the pillars of this heritage is in the real estate sector, where he began to invest from his first years as a professional with society. We are 32. Through it he has managed properties and urban projects, including land in Madrid intended for future residential developments. Added to this is his farm in Andalusia, The Joy, located in Bollullos de la Mitación, a land of almost 100,000 square meters where it combines family life and business activity.
His stud SR4 It is another of the great axes of its heritage. Dedicated to the breeding of purebred horses, it has prize-winning horses in competitions such as SICAB and generates income through the sale and reproduction of its animals.
This growth is not limited to a single area. Beyond sports, he has diversified his interests. He has invested in contemporary art, creating his own collection with works valued between 30,000 and 500,000 euros, advised by experts in the sector. It has also developed its profile as a global image through agreements with brands such as Mizuno, Nike, Hugo Boss, Pepsi o Budweiser. In parallel, he has explored his most creative side. Music, one of his great passions, has even led him to release songs. In 2018 he surprised with a song with Demarco Flamenco after winning the Champions League and, in 2025, he published ‘Cibeles’, where he reviews his departure from Real Madrid and his emotional bond with the club, with direct references to key moments in his career.
On a personal level, the footballer maintains a life closely linked to Andalusia. Together with Pilar Rubio and his four children -Sergio Jr. (2014), Marco (2015), Alejandro (2018) and Máximo Adriano (2020) -, he plans to establish himself in a more stable way on his farm.
