The Parisian club defined the Andalusian player as “a true professional, he has brought experience, discipline and a competitive spirit, driven by a sense of sacrifice and the hunger to win everything”.
“In 57 games, the man considered one of the greatest defenders of all time scored 5 goals for Paris Saint-Germain, including his first on January 23, 2022 in the league against Stade de Reims.

Saturday’s match against Clermont will serve to celebrate the Ligue 1 title at the Parc des Princes and say goodbye, not only to Ramos, but also to Lionel Messi, who will also leave PSG as announced by coach Christophe Galtier.
“Thank you for two special years in which I have been able to play all the tournaments and I have been able to give my best level. I will face new challenges, I will wear other colors, but first, for the last time: #AllezParis!” added the defender in another message .
