Gonçalo Ramos, the Portuguese forward who today wears the AC Milan shirt, explained in a recent interview on Canal11 why he left Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at the end of last summer. The 25-year-old player recalled that, despite having been signed by the French club in 2021, he never managed to establish himself as a starter in a streak of five consecutive games, a situation that led him to look for a new project where he could play regularly.
During his time at PSG, Ramos was relegated to the background within the squad, especially after coach Luis Enrique placed him in a more central position and outside the main attacking zone. The forward admitted that, in the last three years in Paris, he had never started four or five games in a row, which caused him frustration and annoyance. "I even scored in four or five games in a row without starting any of them. For me, it didn't make sense," he commented, stressing that the lack of continuity in the starting lineup prevented him from developing fully.
The former Benfica player explained that the decision to leave the French club was not made impulsively, but after a conversation with his family. “Talking to my family was key to making the decision to look for a place where I could star,” he said. In that sense, Milan presented themselves as the ideal option, offering an environment where Ramos can be the centerpiece of the attack and receive the attention he was missing in Paris.
The move to Milan was made before the opening of the summer transfer window, allowing the Italian club to add the striker without incurring an additional cost. In the new team, Ramos has already begun to show his scoring ability, which suggests that the search for prominence has been fruitful. Milan, for their part, benefit from the player's international experience, who will bring his scoring ability and vision of the game up front.
With the start of the season, AC Milan and its supporters expect Ramos to become a key element in the club's offensive strategy. The Portuguese striker, after having experienced the frustration of not being a starter for PSG, now seeks to establish himself as one of the team's top scorers and contribute to the team's success in SerieA and European competitions.
