Spanish star Sergio Ramos will leave Paris Saint-Germain after his last game of the season on Saturday, the player and club confirmed on Friday.
Ramos’ contract, which expires in the summer, will not be extended, so he is available on a free transfer.

“Tomorrow is a special day, tomorrow I will say goodbye to another part of my life, PSG.” Ramos posted on social media. “I don’t know how many places you can feel at home in, but without a doubt PSG, the fans and Paris were one of them for me.”
“Thank you for two special years where I could compete in every tournament and do my best. I will face new challenges, I will wear different colors but first and last: ¡#AllezParis.”
PSG Chairman and CEO Nasser Al-Khelaifi added in a statement: “We would like to express our huge thanks to Sergio Ramos for the two years he has spent with us.”
“Sergio’s leadership, team spirit and professionalism, coupled with his experience at the highest level, make him a true football legend and it was an honor to have him in Paris. Everyone at the club wishes him all the best.”
Ramos, 37, joined PSG in the summer of 2021 after spending 16 years at Real Madrid during which he won five LaLiga titles and four Champions League titles. The defender, who won the World Cup with Spain in 2010, made 57 appearances and won the Ligue 1 title in both seasons with PSG but the club failed to progress beyond the Champions League round of 16.
After another disappointing season in Europe, PSG are expected to see a significant change this off-season.
PSG coach Christophe Galtier confirmed on Thursday that Lionel Messi will also leave when his contract expires this summer, while sources have told ESPN that Neymar and PSG are both open to the Brazilian striker’s exit.
Ramos also announced his international retirement in February after playing 180 games for Spain. In addition to the World Championship, he also won the European Championship in 2008 and 2012.
PSG, who clinched the Ligue 1 title last weekend, will play their final game of the season at home to Clermont Foot on Saturday.
