Former Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos has officially signed a two year contract with Paris Saint-Germaine, the club confirmed on Thursday.
The 35-year-old Spaniard left Madrid last month after 16 years, during which time he won four Champions League crowns, five La Liga titles and four Club World Cups, and was signed to PSG as a free agent.
Ramos joins the likes of Achraf Hakimi and Georginio Wijnaldum, who have both completed transfers to PSG, while the announcement of Gianluigi Donnarumma heading to Paris is expected soon.

In a statement released by the club on Thursday, Ramos expressed his excitement to sign for the French giants.
"I am very happy to join Paris Saint-Germain," Ramos said. "This is a big change in my life, a new challenge and it's a day I will never forget.
"I am very proud to be a part of this ambitious project, to be a part of this squad with so many great players. Paris Saint-Germain is a club that has already proven itself at the highest level.
"I want to continue to grow and improve at Paris and help the team to win as many trophies as possible."
PSG CEO and Chairperson Nasser Al-Khelaïfi hailed the new addition to his team as 'one of the best defenders in the history of the game', and is excited to see him play in Paris.
"Today, Paris welcomes one of the greatest players of our era. We are delighted to announce that Sergio Ramos has joined us," Al-Khelaïfi said.
"Sergio is a complete footballer, one of the best defenders in the history of the game. He is a born competitor, a leader and a true professional. His vast experience and ambition is in perfect synergy with those of the club.
"I am proud to see him in a Paris Saint-Germain jersey and I know our supporters will reserve a fantastic welcome for him."
