According to a report by Mirror, Sergio Ramos is eyeing a move to Premier League as he doesn't favour playing in Ligue 1 for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Spaniard joined Los Blancos from Sevilla in 2005 and has since established himself as one of greatest defenders of all time. 34-year-old is entering final years of his career, but will expect to earn more than £200,000 a week and turned down a new two-year deal at Real Madrid when he was asked to take a 10 percent pay cut. However, with pandemic, finances are strained across England, and re are only a handful clubs who could afford his ws.
