Gonçalo Ramos said he finally felt at home at Milan, where his arrival in the summer was driven above all by the trust of Portuguese coach RubenAmorim. The striker, who left PSG after a period of difficulty, explained that Amorim's phone call during the World Cup phase was decisive: "He told me that he wanted to play with me and that together we could do great things." Ramos added that he has already had good feedback from the Milan staff and that he appreciates the fact that he can play the role in which he is strongest, a role in which he had not had many opportunities at PSG.

The transfer took place in the summer, after a first attempt to leave Paris in the winter session. The Paris club had expressed resistance, but Milan's proposal, strongly supported by Amorim, paved the way for an agreement. Ramos emphasized his desire to play in a context where he can express himself fully: "Now I really play in my role," he said to the Portuguese channel Canal11. The attacker also underlined that his stay at Milan is temporary, but the bond with the club where he grew up, Benfica, remains very strong. He said he always watches Benfica matches and hopes to return one day, but specified that "in Portugal I could only play for Benfica"; for him it would be a betrayal to play for other clubs.

In the context of the new club, Ramos found a good harmony with LukaModric. He described Modric as a teammate with whom he gets along very well: "We get along very well and in the dressing room we have close seats. I see him as very quiet but when there is something to joke about he actively participates." This affinity with his teammates was seen as a positive element for Ramos' integration within the Rossoneri team.

Ramos also asked not to be involved in any transfers to Benfica, stressing that his future currently lies at Milan. He expressed his desire to remain faithful to the club that formed him, but left open the possibility of a return in the future, should the opportunity arise. His final comment highlighted his determination to give his all to Milan, while keeping alive the hope of being able to contribute to Benfica again when the situation allows.
