Gonçalo Ramos has left Paris Saint‑Germain to join AC Milan, confirming his role as the main striker at the Rossoneri club. The transfer, valued at around €74 million, was the most expensive signing in Milan's history and saw the player move from an uncertain situation at PSG to a new start in Italy.
The centre-forward, born in Lisbon in 2003, told in an interview with the “Soltinhos pelo Mundo” program on Canal 11 how he faced difficulties during the 2023-24 season at PSG. In particular, he recalled the pressure he felt due to criticism of his performance under Luis Enrique. “If I had continued to work with dignity, no one would have questioned my professionalism,” he explained, underlining that his decision to leave the club was motivated by a desire to turn his frustrations into a positive opportunity.
The move to Milan was initiated thanks to a contact with Jorge Mendes, his agent, who informed the Italian club of Milan's interest. Coach Ruben Amorim, Milan's new manager, contacted Ramos and asked the player to join the club. “One morning, Jorge Mendes called me and told me that the deal was done,” said the 25-year-old, recalling that the decision came after a period of uncertainty in January, when PSG had closed the deal.
In the new club, Ramos expressed satisfaction with the environment he found. "I feel happy in a peaceful atmosphere. I play more and Milan offers me more space to express myself," he said. He also underlined the importance of his role in the national team, highlighting how the club allows him to showcase his skills at international level too. “I play more for the national team, which is equally important and a different showcase,” he added, highlighting his pride in representing his team.
With the arrival of Ramos, Milan has strengthened its offensive line, aiming to recover the competitiveness it had lost in some Serie A matches. The new attacker has already been inserted in the first matches of the season and has shown a good pace of play, helping to create new scoring opportunities. The club, now with a talented and motivated striker, is preparing to compete in both the league and European competitions, with the aim of returning to the top of Italian football.
