Another chapter closed and another star gone. After the confirmation of Lionel Messi’s departure, Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed that Spanish defender Sergio Ramos will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season.PSG thanked the former Real Madrid captain with a video on social media, and the veteran Spaniard himself told his followers that Saturday will be a special day in which he will “say goodbye to a chapter of his life and PSG”.Wearing the red-and-blue shirt for the last two years has been a wonderful experience. I’ve had an unforgettable adventure in Paris, and I’d like to thank you all for your support and love. Allez Paris!#MerciRamos 🔴🔵 pic.twitter.com/nqcTWYWp4F— Paris Saint-Germain (@PSG_inside) June 2, 2023 Ramos’ experience and winning DNA was supposed to be a valuable asset in Les Parisiens’ road to UEFA Champions League glory. Still, a mixture of injuries, poor form — especially in his first season — and a general lack of cohesion at Parc des Princes made his arrival like no more than an exercise in PR.It was a massive coup to sign such a decorated player but after two years of pretty average displays, it’s no wonder Ramos is leaving.The 37-year-old former Spain international has been an essential part of Christophe Galtier’s team this season, featuring in 43 games across all competitions. He has been one of the key reasons behind PSG’s successful Ligue 1 defence this season. Apart from the Spaniard, Galtier has Presnel Kimpembe and Marquinhos as the centre-back options.##NAJAVA_MECA_7299373##PSG tried to keep the veteran defender for another year – with the condition of halving his salary from twelve to six million euros. The Spaniard was bitterly disappointed with the offer and decided to walk, hoping to get a better deal elsewhere.There are people in Saudi Arabia making some important phone calls right now.
