Ruben Amorim secures Gonçalo Ramos in record-breaking AC Milan transfer

Ruben Amorim has wasted no time making his mark at San Siro. He has just finalized the most expensive signing in the history of AC Milan to secure his first recruit as head coach. The Rossoneri have officially landed Portuguese international striker Gonçalo Ramos in a high-profile move from Paris Saint-Germain.

A landmark agreement for the Rossoneri

AC Milan has confirmed the arrival of Ramos for a fee estimated at £60 million (€70 million), setting a new financial benchmark for the club. The 25-year-old forward has committed his future to the Italian giants with a contract running until 2031.

This record-shattering deal underscores the ambition of the Milan board to revitalize the squad following a lackluster season. By securing Ramos, the club has eclipsed its previous transfer high of £42 million, which was paid to Lille for winger Rafael Leão back in 2019.

An impressive journey leading to San Siro

Ramos brings a wealth of domestic and international experience to Milan. After developing in the youth systems of Olhanense and Benfica, he rose to global prominence with a stunning hat-trick for Portugal against Switzerland during the 2022 World Cup. His tenure in France was equally fruitful, where he became a key figure at the Parc des Princes.

During his time in Paris, Ramos netted 45 goals across 131 appearances. He played a vital role in a trophy-laden era for the club, which included three Ligue 1 titles and two Champions League trophies.

Starting a fresh chapter for the Rossoneri

The addition of Ramos is intended to provide the clinical edge that has been missing during the team’s recent struggles. Amorim, who penned a two-year contract last month, is tasked with restoring the seven-time European champions to the pinnacle of Italian football. This massive investment in Ramos signals that the hierarchy is fully backing the former Manchester United manager with significant resources.

With over 100 appearances for Benfica, where he emerged as one of Portugal’s brightest prospects, Ramos offers a blend of physical presence and technical skill. He is expected to lead the Milan attack immediately as the club aims to climb back into the Serie A elite and return to European prominence.

The Parisian overhaul continues

While Milan celebrates its new star, PSG is already working to fill the gap left by Ramos. The French champions, led by President Nasser Al-Khelaifi and sporting advisor Luis Campos, have focused their attention on Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig—a player also being monitored by Premier League side Liverpool.

Manager Luis Enrique is looking to refresh his squad following a season that saw the club secure a second consecutive Champions League title and another Ligue 1 crown. To maintain compliance with financial fair play regulations and make room for new high-profile additions, players like South Korean midfielder Lee Kang-in and French forward Randal Kolo Muani could be on their way out.
