“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.

“Paris today welcomes one of the greatest players of our time. We are happy to announce that Sergio Ramos is joining us. 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. I am proud to see him in the Paris Saint-Germain jersey and I know our supporters will give him a fantastic welcome.” PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi expressed his happiness on Ramos’ addition.
