Mauricio Pochettino opens door for Sergio Ramos move to Paris Saint-Germain

Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino is targeting players with "great leadership" as he hints towards a move for Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos.

Mauricio Pochettino has opened the door for Sergio Ramos to join Paris Saint-Germain, claiming that the French side would be a "great club" for the Real Madrid captain.

Ramos is believed to have reached an impasse with Madrid over a new contract, meaning that he is set to leave the Bernabeu on a free transfer in the summer after 16 seasons.

Manchester United are among the sides to have been tipped to move for the experienced centre-back, but PSG are widely considered the favourites to land his signature due to the lucrative contract they can offer.

Pochettino, who was appointed as Thomas Tuchel's successor a month ago, is not ruling out an end-of-season move for Ramos in his quest to land the Champions League trophy during his time at the Parc des Princes.

"After one month I am finding players with great leadership," he told Marca. "The great players are able to play and coexist in different projects and cultures, but I am very respectful.

"PSG's strategy has been the same for years, ever since we signed Ronaldinho: to look at market opportunities and bring in those who can improve what we have.

"We will see in the coming months. Here, Ramos would find a great club with the obsession to always win. PSG are one of the biggest clubs in the world.

"Nothing else matters here except winning. Winning the Champions League has been a dream for 50 years; we have never won it. Even when I was a player it was an obsession."

Ramos has made close to 700 appearances for Madrid in all competitions, including 18 starts this season.
