Two consecutive wins against Real Sociedad and Espanyol have seen them move out of the relegation zone and into 13th but are only three points above 18th.

According to Marca, former defender Ramos, 40, is close to taking over the club following a meeting alongside Five Eleven Capital CEO Martin Ink, and the club’s majority shareholders.

The Athletic have since reported that Ramos’ consortium have reached a €444million agreement in principal.
