Sevilla Schedules First Friendly Amid Sergio Ramos Bid

Sevilla Football Club has scheduled its first closed friendly for the upcoming season. The match was arranged by sporting director Antonio Cordón, who will remain in his role until his departure. The club’s future remains uncertain after Sergio Ramos presented a reduced takeover offer. Major shareholders have indicated they will not accept the lower bid. Luis García Plaza’s contract was automatically extended after he steered Sevilla clear of relegation. The renewal is not guaranteed to be fulfilled pending the outcome of the ownership dispute. It is still unknown which manager will lead the friendly once it takes place. The appointment of a new sporting director also hinges on the eventual buyer of the club. The friendly will proceed as planned, but its coaching staff may change before the match. Final decisions on ownership and the sporting director role are expected later in the summer.
