Gonçalo Ramos joins AC Milan in PSG’s summer exodus

The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has kicked off its summer transfer window with a significant move, confirming Gonçalo Ramos’ departure after three seasons in the French capital. The prolific Portuguese striker is set to join Italian giants AC Milan on a long-term deal until 2031.

Under new manager Luis Enrique, PSG is undergoing a squad overhaul following back-to-back UEFA Champions League triumphs. The club’s official statement confirmed Ramos’ exit, highlighting his contributions: “After three seasons at Paris Saint-Germain and a trophy-laden spell that included two consecutive Champions League titles, Gonçalo Ramos will join AC Milan on a permanent transfer.”

AC Milan swiftly followed up with their own announcement, detailing the length of the Portuguese international’s contract: “The Rossoneri have finalized the signing of Gonçalo Matias Ramos from Paris Saint-Germain FC. The striker has penned a deal valid until June 30, 2031.”

AC Milan breaks its transfer record with Ramos deal

While the exact transfer fee remains undisclosed, insiders suggest AC Milan is paying an initial €74 million, with potential add-ons pushing the total to €80 million. This transaction marks the club’s largest-ever signing and positions Ramos as PSG’s second-highest outgoing transfer. The €90 million fee received for Neymar in 2023 by Al-Hilal remains the capital club’s record sale, but Ramos’ move edges out previous departures such as those of Manuel Ugarte and Xavi Simons, both sold for around €50 million to Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, respectively. PSG’s summer transfer saga is now in full swing.
