PSG could terminate Sergio Ramos'contract - Reports
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are reportedly mulling the option of terminating Sergio Ramos' contract with the club.
Ramos joined the French giants in the summer after spending more than 15 years at Real Madrid. The Spaniard was expected to add more depth to a PSG defence that already boasts the likes of Presnel Kimpembe and Marquinhos.
However, Ramos has not played a single game for the Parisians since arriving four months ago. In fact, the veteran hasn't played an official match since Real Madrid's 2-0 loss to Chelsea on May 5 in the UEFA Champions League.
Sergio Ramos complained of tendon irritation post that game, and was sidelined until July. Following that injury, the 35-year-old suffered calf problems that have kept him out of action to date.

According to French media outlet Le Parisien (via Marca), PSG are seriously considering terminating Ramos' contract. They believe his injury issues are a stumbling block. If these fitness issues recur, the French giants feel parting ways with the Spaniard may no longer be a 'dystopian scenario'.
While these are the words of the media, PSG have always been optimistic about Ramos' return. The club's sporting director Leonardo said about Ramos after PSG's 2-1 victory against Lille on October 29:
"We know Ramos has had an injury. The Spanish press are playing games; we all knew he had a problem. We know what's happening here."
It remains to be seen whether Ramos will get to make his competitive debut for PSG in the coming months.
