PSG Sign Sergio Ramos, Shirt Number Revealed

Paris Saint-Germain have announced the signing of Spanish defender Sergio Ramos from Real Madrid on a free transfer.

Ramos, who has signed a two-year contract, left the La Liga giants last month after failing to reach an agreement to extend his 16-year stay in the Spanish capital.

“This is a big change in my life, a new challenge and it's a day I will never forget,” Ramos said on Thursday.

“Paris Saint-Germain is a club that has already proven itself at the highest level.

“I want to continue to grow and improve at Paris and help the team to win as many trophies as possible.”

The 35-year-old scored 101 goals in 671 matches with Madrid.

Ramos was a member of the Spain team that won an unprecedented title hat-trick at Euro 2008, the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012.

The central defender becomes PSG's latest signing following the arrival of Morocco defender Achraf Hakimi from Serie A side Inter Milan on a five-year deal.
