Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly not ruling out the possibility of pulling the plug on Ex Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos and let him walk away from the club for nothing as his injury nightmare continues.
The Spanish defender moved to PSG on a free transfer in the summer after failing to agree on terms with his former employers on contract renewal terms but is yet to make his debut in the Parisian capital due to a calf problem that he initially suffered three months ago.
Ramos’ last appearance was in Los Blancos colors during their Champions League semi-final second leg defeat at Stamford Bridge to Chelsea on May 5 and understandably his lack of availability due to his persistent injury is frustrating PSG chiefs, with reports in France saying they are considering the prospect of ripping up his contract in their willingness to let him walk away from the club if his fitness problems persist to hinder his chances of playing.
It’s also reported that the club believe they could have made a mistake signing the 35-year-old and are now contemplating their next move going forward. Whatever their final decision would be, they would still need to reach an agreement with Ramos first before they can rescinder the contract.
“The trust that some placed in the defender at the time of his signing, or even after his calf injury a few weeks later, is no longer unshakable today,” reads the report in Le Parisien.
Ramos signed a two-year contract with PSG in the summer and it was hoped he could help the French side win the Champions League title that continues to elude their Qatari owners.
PSG are obviously hopeful that Ramos is close to returning to training and could make his debut soon.
They released a statement last week announcing that Ramos would be ‘considered’ for a return to training imminently.
It read: “The evolution of Sergio Ramos’ recovery program, coordinated by the medical staff, is progressing very well.
“Continuous resumption with the group may be considered in the course of next week.”
Ramos had been recently criticised by French newspaper L’Equipe when they published a video satirising Ramos’ fitness woes, describing him as a ‘ghost’.
