Mauricio Pochettino has opened the door to Sergio Ramos joining him at Paris Saint-Germain from Real Madrid.
The Spanish defender’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season and there is no sign yet of a new deal.
And Pochettino insists the 34-year-old would find a “great club” in Paris with the “dream” of winning the Champions League.
“After one month [at PSG] I am finding players with great leadership. The great [players] are able to play and coexist in different projects and cultures, but I am very respectful,” Pochettino told Marca.
“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.
“That’s the objective; we can’t just think about doing well in the Champions League, we’re talking about winning it. Since we [the coaching team] lost the final at Tottenham, our dream is to have the chance to play in a final again.”

Former teammate Dani Ceballos, currently on loan at Arsenal, believes Ramos will stay at the Bernabeu beyond this season.
“I think Sergio’s goal is to finish his career at Real Madrid,” Ceballos told Cadena Ser (h/t AS).
“If I had to bet, it would be that he remains at the club next year.”
