PSG Defender Ramos Still Has ‘Four or Five Years’ at Top Level

Paris St. Germain center back Sergio Ramos said he wants to play at the highest level for another four or five years.

The 36-year-old arrived in July last year on a free transfer following 16 years at Real Madrid but has played only seven times for the Ligue 1 club due to calf problems.

The Spain international played the full 90 minutes for PSG for just the third time in last week's 6-1 thrashing of Clermont.

"I would like to play four to five more years at the top level and then have another experience," Ramos told Prime Video on Monday.

"Here, I have two years in Paris, we will try to do three, then one more, and then we will see. But as long as the body holds, I think I can keep my mind focused."

Ligue 1 leaders PSG are on 71 points after 31 matches, 12 points ahead of Marseille.

A Spanish court on Wednesday sentenced Brazil coach Carlo Ancelotti to a one-year prison term for tax fraud when he was Real Madrid manager in 2014.

The Madrid court also fined Ancelotti €386,000 ($452,187).

Spanish prosecutors accused Ancelotti of defrauding the state of 1 million euros ($1 million) in 2014 and 2015. State prosecutors sought a prison sentence of up to four years and nine months on two counts of tax fraud.

In March 2024, they accused Ancelotti of having used shell companies to hide his true earnings. Prosecutors claimed Ancelotti, for example, used one company that lacked “any real (economic) activity” in the Virgin Islands as part of an alleged scheme.

Carlos Sánchez, Ancelotti’s press officer, told The Associated Press that the coach “will not make comments for now.”

Ancelotti is one of soccer’s most successful coaches. He is the only coach to have won the Champions League five times, three with Madrid and twice with AC Milan, and the only coach to have won domestic league titles in England, Spain, Italy, Germany and France.
