Sergio Ramos signs a two-year deal with Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain after leaving Real Madrid earlier this summer.
The Spanish legend was involved in a contract break with Los Blancos during the first months of 2021 and no agreement was reached to extend his stay in Madrid, and now PSG have moved into pole position to sign him.

It was reported earlier on Thursday that the two parties were about to enter into “advanced negotiations”, and now RMC Sports’ Mohamed Bouhafsi has revealed that an agreement has been reached.
Ramos is expected to sign a two-year deal with Mauricio Pochettino, with his brother currently in Paris to end the negotiations.
It is also reported that the 35-year-old rejected two English clubs, one of which offered greater financial terms than PSG. Manchester United have previously been hailed as a potential destination, while at the end of 2020, 90 minutes revealed that all six top sides had expressed interest in the defender.
Ramos’ departure from Real Madrid was due to his desire for a two-year contract that Florentino Perez would not sanction, but PSG have not been deterred by his contract demands.
Once signed, the veteran will join former Real team-mates Keylor Navas and Angel Di Maria, both of whom have enjoyed domestic success in the French capital.

The next challenge for the club is to challenge again in the Champions League. They reached the final in 2019/20 but were beaten by Bayern Munich, while the following season saw them convincingly dumped by Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in the semifinals.
Ramos’ upcoming arrival is the latest piece of positive business from PSG. Midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum has arrived for a free transfer from Liverpool and Gianluigi Donnarumma is approaching a step, but there are still concerns about Kylian Mbappe’s future.
The 22-year-old has made it clear that he does not intend to sign a new contract with Les Parisiens and is prepared to see the last year of his current deal to complete the move he wants.
