Sergio Ramos to leave PSG after final game of the season

Sergio Ramos, the Spain great, has announced that he will leave Paris Saint-Germain after their final game of the season on Saturday. Both player and club confirmed the news on Friday. Ramos’ contract, which is due to expire this summer, will not be renewed, making him available on a free transfer.

Gratitude to Sergio Ramos

In a statement, PSG chairman and CEO Nasser Al-Khelaifi expressed gratitude to Ramos for the two years he has spent with the club. He remarked that Sergio’s leadership, team spirit, and professionalism, combined with his experience at the highest level, make him a true football legend, and it was an honour to have him in Paris. Everyone at the club wishes him all the best.

Ramos’ career

Ramos, 37, joined PSG in the summer of 2021 after spending 16 years at Real Madrid, during which he won five LaLiga titles and four Champions League crowns. A 2010 World Cup winner with Spain, the defender made 57 appearances and won Ligue 1 titles in both of his seasons at PSG but the club failed to make it past the round of 16 in the Champions League.

PSG expected to undergo significant transformation

Following another season of disappointment in Europe, PSG is expected to undergo a significant transformation this offseason. PSG manager Christophe Galtier confirmed on Thursday that Lionel Messi will also leave when his contract expires this summer, while sources have told ESPN that Neymar and PSG are both open to the Brazilian forward departing.

Ramos also announced his retirement from international duty in February after making 180 appearances for Spain. In addition to the World Cup, he won the European Championship in 2008 and 2012.

PSG, who clinched the Ligue 1 title last weekend, will play their final game of the season at home to Clermont Foot on Saturday. Ramos expressed his gratitude to PSG for the two special years in which he was able to play in every tournament and give his all. He added that he will face new challenges, wear other colours, but first, and for the last time, he will say “¡#AllezParis.”
