PSG confirms Gonçalo Ramos transfer to AC Milan for 70 million euros
The ongoing FIFA World Cup may be dominating headlines, but the football transfer window is equally abuzz with activity—especially for players representing their national teams. Among them is Gonçalo Ramos, the prolific striker of Paris Saint-Germain, whose future now appears all but sealed at another European powerhouse.
Just a day after initial reports surfaced, sources close to the negotiations have confirmed that the Portuguese forward is set to join AC Milan. The deal, valued at €70 million including performance-based bonuses, marks a significant milestone for both clubs. The agreement has been finalized, with only the formal signing remaining.
AC Milan secures their most expensive signing ever
Gonçalo Ramos arrived at Paris Saint-Germain in August 2023 from Benfica, initially on a paid loan worth €20 million before his permanent transfer was activated for approximately €65 million. Now, he is poised to shatter AC Milan’s transfer records, surpassing Rafael Leão, who joined the Rossoneri from Lille for €50 million in 2019.
For Paris Saint-Germain, this transaction is nothing short of historic. Only one previous sale has generated more revenue: Neymar’s controversial move to Al-Hilal in Saudi Arabia in 2023, which fetched €90 million. During his three seasons with PSG, Gonçalo Ramos made 131 appearances across all competitions, scoring 45 goals and providing nine assists.
What does this mean for both clubs?
The departure of Gonçalo Ramos allows PSG to recoup a substantial portion of their investment while freeing up funds for potential reinforcements. Meanwhile, AC Milan gain a proven goal scorer at the peak of his prime, reinforcing their attacking options for the upcoming campaigns.
