But PSG’s website seemed to have announced the signing early as they posted quotes from the Spaniard on their website before taking them down.

The article suggests that Ramos will be wearing the number four shirt for the French giants next season.

He is reported as saying: ‘This number four, I appreciate it a lot out of superstition, because I had it from the start of my career, and then it accompanied me throughout my life, continued [with] me, brought good luck, and a lot of victories.

‘Now number four is part of me as a person and as a professional. For me, it’s a privilege to be able to wear this number in such a great team, Paris Saint-Germain. So it will be very special to be able to wear my number here in Paris.’

Ramos’ experience in the game and knack of winning trophies will help Mauricio Pochettino’s side as they bid to deliver success on both domestic and European stages in 2021-22.

PSG lost the Ligue 1 title to Lille last season, while were kicked out of the Champions League by beaten finalists Manchester City. 

Ramos will compete for a centre-back starting position alongside Marquinhos and Presnel Kimpembe.

Pochettino’s side have been busy this summer also signing Georginio Wijnaldum, Gianluigi Donnarumma and Achraf Hakimi.
