Sergio Ramos will leave French champions Paris St-Germain at the end of their Ligue 1 season on Saturday.
Ramos becomes the second high-profile exit announced this week, with Lionel Messi departure also confirmed.
“Tomorrow I will say goodbye to another stage of my life, goodbye to PSG. 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!

The 37-year-old made 57 appearances for PSG and won two French titles after joining them from Real Madrid in 2021.
PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said: “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.”
Ramos, who has won the World Cup and two European Championships, remains Spain’s most-capped player.
A trophy-laden career at Real also included five La Liga titles and four Champions League winners medals.
And his know-how, alongside serial winner Messi, who joined PSG in the same summer, was seen as essential to helping PSG finally land the Champions League.
However, his first season in the French capital was plagued by injury and although he has contributed more significantly this term, he was unable to prevent the Parisians from being knocked out of European football’s elite club competition in the last 16 for the second consecutive season.
