PSG-Sergio Ramos: Inevitable end?

There have been various rumors linking Sergio Ramos to a shockingearly exit from theParc des Princes, and a transfer away could become a realistic option once the summer transfer window opens. Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano believes thatPSG could look to terminate the centre-back’s contractat the end of the season.

It is said that the clubhierarchy have been frustratedwith the whole Ramos situation considering his high earnings. Despite the fact that he is tied to the French side for another season, PSG might offer the defender severance pay in order to cut short hisstayin Paris. In addition, they feel that the ex-Los Blancos stalwart, who turns 36 in late March,will hardly be able to help the squad come next term considering his age and condition.
