NEW DELHI: Paris Saint-Germain confirmed on Friday that Sergio Ramos will be leaving the club at the end of the season.
Ramos, 37, joined the side from the French capital in 2021 after a successful spell with Real Madrid, where he amassed numerous trophies and accolades.
His departure comes alongside the previous announcement of Lionel Messi’s exit from the club, marking a significant change in PSG’s line-up for the coming season.
“We would like to express our immense gratitude to Sergio Ramos for the two years he spent with us,” PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said in a statement.
“Sergio’s leadership, team spirit and professionalism, combined with his experience at the highest level, make him a true footballing legend, and it was an honor to have him in Paris.
“Everyone at the club wishes him the best,” added Al-Khelaifi.
The announcement comes less than 24 hours before PSG’s final Ligue 1 game of the season as they host Clermont.
Ramos is following Argentina’s 2022 World Cup winner Messi as he leaves the Parc des Princes with reports also linking Brazil’s Neymar with a departure.
The former Sevilla defender won Ligue 1 twice in Paris, playing 57 games and his contract with PSG ends on June 30.
“Tomorrow is a special day, tomorrow I will say goodbye to another stage of my life, goodbye to @psg,” Ramos said on social media.
“I don’t know how many places you can call home, but without a doubt PSG, the fans and Paris were part of it for me.
“Thank you for these two special years in which I was able to participate in all the tournaments and give my all,” he added.
Ramos, who won the 2010 World Cup and Messi, arrived the same summer aiming for a Champions League title with PSG.
