except miracle, Sergio Ramos will also miss the second leg of the round of 16 Champions before him Madrid while recovering from some soleus discomfort. Leonardo, sports director of PSG, has acknowledged in an interview The Team that the signing of the former Madrid player is not going as expected. “He was signed and he was physically well. Unfortunately, it hasn’t gone as we thought. It’s hard for him, for everyone,” he said in the French newspaper.
Le Parisien informs that Sergio Ramos has very few options to play the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Real Madrid at the Bernabéu. He will not be on Saturday against Saint-Étienne and almost certainly on the 5th against Nice. He will arrive in March without having made his Champions League debut with PSG. pic.twitter.com/thvzb6n4E3

The man from Seville arrived in the French capital last summer after not sign the renewal with Madridclub in which he played 16 seasons. Since then, injuries have prevented him from continuing at PSG, where he has only been able to play a total of five matches. To date, the central defender had had the full support of the club, but the situation seems to have changed.
“The relations with the player are clear and that the day it is said that he cannot play anymore, it will be clear to us. It is not the case. But not playing makes it difficult for him to be a leaderLeonard commented.

A failed transfer
On whether he considers having made a mistake with his signing, Leonardo assured that “we have to wait for the end of the season to draw conclusions”. The Brazilian adds that he is not afraid to accept the mistakes he makes and that he has the total confidence of Nasser Al-Khelaïfipresident of PSGwhich also gives him “total autonomy” to work, something that “is to be appreciated”.
Despite his words, the sports director is criticized in France for not taking into account how little Ramos played at the Bernabéu last season. The one from Camas underwent surgery to put an end to some knee problems more than a year ago and since then has chained injuries that have cut the continuity.
Mbappé, increasingly with “more desire to continue”
Leonardo has also come out against the rumors about the renewal of Mbappe: “There is no concrete proposal”, he said in the same interview to The Team. “Kylian has such great value that money will be a secondary matter. To agree on the economic aspect, it will take a couple of minutes,” he added.

The sports director assures that from the club “we will try everything” to hold him. He has also talked about the French star’s desire to continue in Paris: “It’s a matter of feelings. We are not a selling club. Kylian is thinking things through. The feeling that there was last Saturday in the stadium was magnificent. Something special is being created around you.”
