PSG star rejects stunning offer from Real Madrid and wants to stay with Ligue1 side - Reports
According to El Nacional, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) superstar Sergio Ramos has rejected a stunning offer from Real Madrid to return to the club. The former Los Blancos captain wants to continue at the Parisian club.
Ramos arrived in the French capital in 2021, bringing an end to his illustrious spell in Madrid. He had an injury-plagued first season, making only 13 appearances for the club.
Ramos, however, has established himself as a crucial player for the Parisians this season. He has been a mainstay at the heart of Christophe Galtier's team's defense. The central defender has helped the Parisians keep 11 clean sheets in 36 matches this term.
However, his contract will run out in June and he is yet to receive an offer to extend his deal from the French club.

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has reportedly offered Ramos the chance to return to the club where he made 671 appearances. They will also want the legendary defender to be a member of the board and the club's foundation committee. While Ramos is interested in making a return to his long-time club at some point, he still wants to continue playing at the highest level.
Ramos' intention is to extend his stay at PSG. Whether Nasser Al-Khelaifi offers him the chance to do so remains to be seen.
