The transfer of Marius Marin (27 years old) to Sevilla came to an impasse, before the Spanish team was officially taken over by Sergio Ramos together with a group of investors from Five Eleven Capital.
The former Real Madrid captain will become a shareholder in Sevilla at the end of the season. After the Andalusian team saved itself from relegation, the takeover process went straight.
The new shareholders will change the old technical management of the club, who had reached an agreement with Marius Marin, the midfielder from Pisa.
The new leaders were set back by the injury suffered by Marin at the end of the season. Sergio Ramos and his colleagues only want footballers who can help immediately, trying to avoid any risk, given the unfortunate situation Sevilla have found themselves in this season as they battled to save themselves from relegation.
Sergio Ramos and the new investors from Sevilla blocked the transfer of Marius Marin
“In the midst of the institutional transition process, the technical department makes the last decisions before the change of management, trying to clarify the procurement plan outlined by the current administration.
The arrival of the Romanian midfielder was considered accomplished in football circles in the Andalusian capital. After consulting internal sources at the club, Sevilla FC deny that the footballer will undergo a medical this week and his transfer is completely ruled out.
The main reason is the ankle injury that kept Marius Marin off the field for the last two months. The physical risks assessed by the technical staff weighed more than the existing pre-agreements, abruptly stopping his arrival in Spanish football.
Sergio Ramos' new project will prioritize financial health and immediate return, which justifies the club's extreme caution in rejecting players with medical problems, such as Marius Marin,” write the Spaniards from vamossevilla.com.
