With him, Paris Saint-Germain was bringing in anexperienced man who had tasted thecontinental success that has been so elusive for them over the last few years. However, the first few months of Ramos in France haven’t turned out as expected.

The veteran center-back has been unable to play a single minute of action in a Paris uniform so far, having suffered from calf problems ever since he joined the Ligue 1 side. And that has apparently annoyed PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi.
