PSG finalizes the signing of Sergio Ramos

If nothing goes wrong, Sergio Ramos will become a new PSG player. In the French club he will sign for two seasons, his great goal with 35 years. That was, according to his version of events, the main problem of not reaching a renewal agreement with Real Madrid. “I wanted peace of mind, for myself and for my family. They only offered me one. Mine was not a matter of money, "explained the central two weeks ago at the farewell press conference as a white player after 16 years, where he stressed time and again that, when he finally folded and accepted the proposal of a club campaign, this was no longer on the table. "It had an expiration date and I had not found out," he pointed out in a pounding and measured way.

The Parisian entity is the more than estimable exit that the Sevillian defender has found in the final stretch of his career and after more than half a year with hardly playing due to physical problems.

In all of 2021, the defender has only participated in five games with Madrid (one in the Super Cup, two in the League and two in the Champions League: 395 minutes) and in a pair with Spain (49 minutes).

The consequence of this long period of inactivity was that Luis Enrique left him out at the last moment of the Eurocup list despite having supported him in the previous months in his aspiration to reach the international record (184).

His contract with Real Madrid officially expired last Wednesday and, just a day later, it was known that PSG will be his more than likely destination. "We will look for a way out to try to add more titles to the record," said Ramos on the day of his goodbye from the Bernabéu. At that time, he assured that he had nothing done with any team. "There are clubs interested, but as I never had in mind to leave Real Madrid ...", insisted the Sevillian.

At PSG and under Mauricio Pochettino, the objective is clear: to win the Champions League, an elusive title for the French club despite the huge investment made after the arrival of the State of Qatar a decade ago. The 2020 final, lost to Bayern, is all they have come close to it. Last season they stayed in the semifinals, where they lost to Manchester City. And if the Champions League is the great obsession, the inescapable obligation is to reconquer the domestic league, which in its last edition was won by Lille (PSG had raised seven of the last eight editions).

In the end, everything indicates that Mbappé will join Ramos, but not in Madrid. For months, the idea of ​​the signing of the French star by the white team was kneaded, a circumstance that right now does not seem easy. The French striker, very touched after his unsatisfactory time at the European Championship, has one year left on his contract and the bosses of the Parisian club have already made it clear that they were not going to negotiate his departure and that their only objective is to sign a new contract. So that meeting with Ramos, which could have occurred at the Bernabéu with the two in white, everything indicates right now that it will take place from this August in Paris. Neymar was another player that Real Madrid wanted to sign in his day. But the meeting with Sergio Ramos will also take place with the PSG shirt. In the case of the Brazilian, there are no doubts about his future.He has a contract until 2025.

In the Parisian galaxy, Ramos will compete for a position with Marquinhos and Kimpembe, and will also coincide with a couple of acquaintances: Keylor Navas, who left the Bernabéu in 2019 after having lifted the three Champions League in a row with Madrid, and Di María, who he left Madrid in 2014 and, after a bad mid-season at United, laid the egg in Paris.
