Free after 16 seasons under the colors of Real, the 35-year-old Spanish defender has agreed with PSG for the next two years, according to RMC.
Sergio Ramos in Paris, it’s yes. Contacts between the capital club and the 35-year-old Spanish international defender (180 caps, 23 goals) had been mentioned for several weeks, and even several months. Earlier this Thursday, we learned that his brother and agent, René Ramos, was in France to negotiate with the Parisian bosses. And RMC Now reports that the two parties have come to an agreement: after 16 seasons at Real Madrid, Sergio Ramos will land at Paris Saint-Germain for the next two years.
After “Gini” Wijnaldum (ex-Liverpool) and while waiting for “Gigio” Donnarumma (ex-AC Milan), PSG therefore continues its raid on players at the end of their contract. For Achraf Hakimi (Inter Milan) on the other hand, the vice-champions of France will break the bank, with a transfer announced at € 70 million including bonus. One thing is certain: Parisian decision-makers have decided to strike hard on the occasion of the summer transfer window. A priori, however, this is not enough to convince Kylian Mbappé to extend. Neymar, he has already stacked up.

World Cup, Euro, Champions League … A solid gold record
With Sergio Ramos, Paris-SG pays for the services of a great defender, a winner, a leader. And a Real Madrid legend, sorry. Debauched in Seville in 2005, the 2010 world champion and double European champion (2008, 2012) with La Roja left Casa Blanca with an XXL record (4 Champions Leagues, 5 Ligas, 2 King’s Cups…). He played 671 matches there, with 101 goals scored. Above all, Ramos changed the face of Real. With and without him, there was a world …
The future new player of PSG nevertheless comes out of several complicated months. He only played five small matches in 2021 with the Castilian club, due to several physical glitches. The Spanish coach Luis Enrique has also made the choice to leave him aside for Euro 2020. This allowed Sergio Ramos to work on his condition. A priori, the Parisian decision-makers were convinced by its ability to perform at the highest level and to help the Rouge et Bleu in their quest for the supreme coronation, the C1.

Remember that Paris Saint-Germain already has a solid central hinge, with the essential Marquinhos and titi Presnel Kimpembe. Abdou Diallo, Thilo Kehrer, even Danilo Pereira can also play as central defender. Charge to Mauricio Pochettino to satisfy everyone in terms of playing time and Leonardo to sell a certain number of players by the end of the transfer window. Especially since the Parisian sports director has not finished his summer shopping. An attacker is still expected in Paris (return of Kean on loan?). An environment too (Pogba, Camavinga …). In short, PSG has not finished shaking the transfer market.
