Veteran centre-back Sergio Ramos has announced that he will leave Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) after the club's final game against Clermont on Saturday. Ramos' departure is likely to result in a significant change in PSG's roster for the upcoming season, as he will leave the club alongside Lionel Messi when his contract expires this summer.

"Tomorrow is a special day, tomorrow I will say goodbye to another stage of my life, goodbye to @PSG_inside," Ramos wrote on social media.

"I don't know in how many places one can feel at home, but without a doubt PSG, the fans, and Paris were one of them for me. Thank you for two special years in which I was able play in every tournament and give my all. I will face new challenges, I will wear other colours, but first, and for the last time: ¡#AllezParis," he added.

Ramos joined PSG in the summer of 2021 after 16 years at Real Madrid, where he won five La Liga titles and four Champions League trophies. The 37-year-old defender made 57 appearances and won Ligue 1 titles in both of his seasons at the French Club.

It was an honour to have him in Paris: PSG chairman

PSG chairman and CEO Nasser Al-Khelaifi said in a statement: "We would like to express our immense gratitude to Sergio Ramos for the two years he has spent with us. "Sergio's leadership, team spirit and professionalism, combined with his experience at the highest level, make him a true football legend, and it was an honour to have him in Paris. Everyone at the club wishes him all the best."

Ramos also announced his retirement from international football in February after making 180 appearances for Spain. He has won the 2010 World Cup and the 2008 and 2012 European Championships. PSG manager Christophe Galtier confirmed on Thursday that their star striker Messi will also leave when his contract expires this summer. The Paris-based club, which won Ligue 1 last weekend, will play their final game of the season against Clermont Foot at home on Saturday.
