UPDATE: Sergio Ramos to leave PSG

French champions Paris Saint-Germain said on Friday that veteran former Spain defender Sergio Ramos will leave the club at the end of the season.

Ramos, 37, joined the Parisians in 2021 after a trophy-laden spell with Real Madrid.

“We would like to express our immense gratitude to Sergio Ramos for the two years he has 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 football legend, and it was an honour to have him in Paris.

“Everyone at the club wishes him all the best,” Al-Khelaifi added.

The announcement comes less than 24 hours before PSG’ final game of the Ligue 1 season as they host Clermont.

Ramos follows Lionel Messi in leaving the Parc des Princes with reports also linking Neymar with a departure.

“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 in how many places one can feel at home, but without a doubt PSG, the fans, and Paris were one of them for me.

“Thank you for two special years in which I was able play in every tournament and give my all,” he added.
