Mercado Sergio Ramos signs for PSG
It's what it takes to be a star.
PSG has spent 60 million this summer to bring
Achraf Hakimi
from Inter
, has snatched
Georgino Wijnaldum
from Barca himself
, is going to sign the goalkeeper of one of the finalists of the European Championship (
Donnarumma
) and sighs for
Pogba
.
But in a crop of transfers that will force the Qatari club to sell footballers worth about 150 million, the one who has made the most noise is a veteran like
Sergio Ramos
.
"Paris welcomes one of the best players of our time," proclaimed
Nasser Al-Khelaïfi
, president of Paris Saint-Germain, who only rarely hosts.
"Sergio is one of the best defenders in history. He is a natural competitor, a leader and a great professional. His great experience and his ambitions are in perfect harmony with those of the club. I am proud to see him wearing the PSG jersey."
All the French media have put the letter (and the numbers) to the enthusiastic music of the Parisian president.
Ramos, 671 games for Real Madrid between 2005 and 2021. And 101 goals.
Four C1 (which is the French media's Champions League for short) among its 22 titles.
In addition to his 23 goals in 180 games with the national team.
But next are the questions. "It remains to be seen if Ramos, at 35 years old and after six very complicated months in the physical plane, is still at the highest level" asked
Le Figaro
. "He hasn't played more than five games this year ... but I'm happy he's coming," said former player
Greg Paisley
. The interested party has already answered in his own way, spreading videos on social networks in which he is seen in full effort.
And today, in Paris, he has made it clear that he does not come to the French capital to retire like
Dani Alves
or
Gigi Buffon,
much less to walk the tattoos like
David Beckham
. "It is a great change in my life, a new challenge and a day that I will never forget. I am proud to be part of this ambitious project, to join a team with great players. This is a club that has already proven to be at its best. high level with a solid foundation. I want to continue growing with Paris and help the team work towards winning titles. "
In what is also unanimous is that Ramos, who has signed two years at 15 kilos per year, it is said, is going to give PSG that character that he has missed in the big events. Since
Ibrahimovic and Thiago Motta left
, the baddie position was vacant.
Everyone happy then? Not so much. According to
Le Parisien
, a newspaper with its own sources in the team, the signing "has perplexed a large part of the squad, even angered some players.
Kimpembe
was not happy about the agreement. For
Marquinhos
colleagues
, the transfer strategy It is incomprehensible. Last summer, PSG did not renew
Thiago Silva
after eight years at the club. " The newspaper gloated recalling that the former captain won the Champions League with Chelsea, under the command of
Thomas Tuchel,
fired at Christmas from PSG.
In the same article he realized the surprise of
Keylor Navas
at the arrival of a goalkeeper like Donnarumma who does not come to warm up the bench.
And the ascendancy of the goalkeeper was mentioned in the Hispanic clan of a locker room at risk of destabilization.
Of course, integration problems will not have Ramos.
From here until the ball rolls, the question remains of how
Pochettino will
integrate
the newcomer.
Will you draw a defense with three centrals
-Marquinhos, Kimpembe, and Ramos-
with
Achraf and Bernat
as lanes?
You can also alternate the three tenors in the area, because there are plenty of matches.
Although, for the player the Champions League is not the same as the French Cup.
In Paris, the goalkeeper of the Italian team is expected to sign his contract, as soon as the Eurocup ends.
Donnarumma would have already passed a medical examination in Rome and would arrive free like Ramos and
Wijnaldum.
Be careful, his agent is
Mino Raiola
, who also represents Pogba.
The midfielder is under contract with Manchester United.
L'Equipe
points out that its price would range between 50 and 60 million
POSSIBLE OUTPUTS
It remains to balance the budget and comply with
fair play
.
The club has informed the authorities that it will sell players worth 150 million.
That amount can be achieved by selling a crack or several players from the middle class.
The first option, the departure of
Kylian Mbappé,
is taboo in the Qatari club that wants to add the Champions League to the World Cup celebrations in the emirate.
So please go out.
In the pools are
Pablo Sarabia, Ander Herrera, Leandro Paredes, Idrissa Gueye, Thilo Kehrer
(owner of number 4 until the arrival of Ramos),
Abdou Diallo, Layvin Kurzawa, Areola ...
