Ramos has only made two appearances since joining the French giants from Real Madrid on a free transfer before the start of the 2021/2022 campaign.
There were reports that PSG were looking to offload to the defender due to injury troubles and the fact that he is one of the club's big earners.
While he returned to action in the Coupe de France on Sunday, Leonardo admitted there was some tension and surprises with the injuries this time around.

"We did not expect to be without Ramos for four or five months," Leonardo told Europe1.
"We knew that he had injuries from last season and that we had to manage them. It is true that there have been surprises.
"There were some tension, we forced ourselves to prepare with him in the squad and then had to backtrack.
"But today he's really on the right track. It would be really important to have him with us in the second half of the season."
