Spanish football legend Sergio Ramos has confirmed his departure from Paris Saint-Germain after two years in the French capital. The former World Cup winner joins Lionel Messi in another high-profile exit at the club as they close the domestic season on Saturday. The Spaniard had a torrid time in the French capital and struggled with injuries during his spell with the club, having made the switch from Real Madrid in 2021.

<h2>Board confirms Ramos exit</h2>

"We would like to express our immense gratitude to Sergio Ramos for the two years he has spent with us," PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said in a statement.

"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.

"Everyone at the club wishes him all the best," Al-Khelaifi added.

Ramos’ exit from the club could be another setback for French football giants as it could get even worse with speculations suggesting Brazilian star Neymar could also be on the move. Despite heavy investment in the club, they have found it difficult to win the Champions League and have exited the completion in the Round 16 in the last two seasons.

Ramos on the flip side could feature on Saturday against Clermont Foot in their final game of the Ligue One season. The four-time Champions League winner made 57 appearances for PSG and could head to Qatar or Saudi Arabia next.

<h2>Ramos’ emotional farewell</h2>

"Tomorrow is a special day, tomorrow I will say goodbye to another stage of my life, goodbye to @psg," Ramos said on social media.

"Thank you for two special years in which I was able play in every tournament and give my all," he added.

PSG will close their domestic season with the French Ligue One title while they had disappointed in the Coup de France and the Champions League after an early exit. While there are outgoings at the club, there are also possible incomings as well with Real Madrid’s Marco Asensio heavily linked with PSG for a summer switch.

Football: Sergio Ramos confirms PSG exit after two years; joins Messi in another high-profile outgoing

According to The Times, Messi will make a move after this year’s World Cup. Messi will be free to sign with a new club once his contract expires with his current club, Paris Saint-Germain. However, he can extend the contract for another season. MLS commissioner Don Garber has also confirmed clubs in MLS have shown an interest in signing Messi. “There has been an interest in Messi. We believe a lot, however, in the formality of the rules so at the moment he is under contract and then he will decide what to do,” the MLS commissioner was quoted as saying.

Lionel Messi set to play in MLS club co-owned by David Beckham: Reports

Lionel Messi has been enduring a difficult debut season at Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) as he continues to struggle to deliver consistently for the club. Messi had arrived in Paris last year after leaving Barcelona following the Spanish club's failure to renew his contract due to financial constraints.

Messi is earning close to 35 million Euros per season at PSG but has failed to meet the expectations of the fans and teammates at the club. Messi has so far managed only two goals in 18 Ligue 1 appearances for PSG, however, he has been their leading assist provider with ten assists to his name.&nbsp;

In the Champions League, Messi scored five times in seven matches for the club but failed to inspire them to the quarterfinals as Real Madrid knocked them out of the Round of 16 earlier this month. Messi was heavily criticised following PSG's exit from the Champions League and the Argentine superstar was recently booed by the fans in their league match against Bordeaux last Sunday.

Messi's struggles at PSG have sparked rumours of a possible return to Barcelona for the 34-year-old. Barcelona, who have endured a rough patch over the last couple of years, are trying to fight back under their new manager Xavi, who was incredibly successful during his spell as a player at the Catalan club.

Xavi and Messi played nearly 400 matches together during the current Barca head coach's playing days at the club. The duo was instrumental in helping Barcelona win numerous trophies across competitions. As speculations emerge about Messi's possible return to his former club, Xavi has said the doors will always remain open for Messi to come back to Barcelona.

"Messi has earned having the doors open to Barca. As long as I'm the coach here, if he wants to come every day to watch training or talk to the coach, what he's given us is priceless, he's the best player in history," said Xavi on Messi's potential return to the club.

However, Xavi insisted Messi currently remains a PSG player, where he has a three year-contract and he would not like to make any comments on a possible move back to Barcelona.

"He deserves a big tribute from the club. But today he has a contract with PSG, I think he signed for two years," Xavi said.

However, several of his former Barcelona teammates, including Dani Alves have urged the Argentinian to return to his former club. Messi, who came through the ranks of Barcelona's famous academy La Masia, enjoyed a trophy-laden spell at the club.

Messi won ten La Liga titles and four Champions League crowns along with seven Ballon d'Or titles during his stint with the Catalan giants.
