Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed the signing of Sergio Ramos on a two-year deal.
The Spanish defender, who was left out of Luis Enrique’s squad for Euro 2020, was a free agent after ending his 16-year association with Real Madrid.
Speaking after signing his deal, Ramos said: ‘I am very happy to join Paris Saint-Germain.

‘It is a big change in my life, a new challenge and a day that I will never forget. I am proud to be part of this very ambitious project, to join a team with great players.
‘It’s a club that has already proven at the highest level with solid foundations. I want to continue to grow with Paris and help the team work to win titles.’
Club owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi added: ‘Sergio is a complete footballer, one of the best defenders in history.
‘He is a born competitor, a leader and a great professional. His great experience and his ambitions are in perfect harmony with those of the club.’

Ramos also posted to his Instagram, alongside the message: ‘The best place to keep on dreaming, the best club to keep on winning. We’re going to fight with everything we have for everything.’
Ramos cut his ties with Real Madrid this summer after he failed to agree a new deal at the Bernabeu.
Real refused to meet the 35-year-old’s request for a two-year deal, insisting on only a one-year renewal on account of his age.
