Gonçalo Ramos is officially Milan's new player. The Rossoneri club announced his signing, which becomes the first reinforcement of the season, showing that the management is willing to support coach Ruben Amorim. Ramos' contract extends until 2031, and the value of the deal with Paris Saint-Germain exceeds 70 million euros. With this transfer, the Portuguese forward joins the list of the ten most expensive players in Milan's history, surpassing his compatriot Rafael Leão.
Ramos is the eighth Portuguese player to represent Milan and will wear the iconic number 9 jersey, which since the days of Pippo Inzaghi, and except for Olivier Giroud, has not brought much luck. Before officially presenting himself as a Milan player, Ramos said goodbye to PSG, where he left an indelible mark: "Together we wrote an unforgettable story. We won two Champions Leagues and numerous other trophies, and shared moments that will forever remain in the memory of all those who were part of this adventure."
During his time in Paris, Ramos scored 45 goals in 131 games, only 54 of which were as a starter, with an impressive average of one goal every 122.71 minutes. Despite being considered a luxury option, the forward found it difficult to be a starter, due to competition from Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé. Coach Luis Enrique had already commented that Ramos' situation was "unfair", but praised his attitude and determination.
Ramos is seen as the prototype of the modern striker, combining physical strength with good technique. As a right-handed player, he can act as a sole striker or collaborate with another striker. In Ruben Amorim's 3-4-2-1 tactical scheme, he will be a crucial element, both as a finisher and as support for the three most advanced players.
