The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has finalized its first major summer transfer by confirming the departure of Gonçalo Ramos to AC Milan. The Portuguese striker, who joined the French club from Benfica last year, leaves behind a remarkable record despite not securing a permanent starting position.
The AC Milan acquisition comes with a price tag of €74 million, potentially rising to €80 million with performance bonuses. The move solidifies Ramos’ place in PSG’s recent history, particularly for his impact coming off the bench.
Ramos departs with a PSG record
Since arriving in Paris, Gonçalo Ramos scored 21 goals as a substitute—a club record. Even more impressive, PSG never lost a match when he found the net in official competitions, boasting a 29-win, 8-draw record in those games.
Over his 131 appearances for the club, Ramos contributed 45 goals and 10 assists, playing a pivotal role in PSG’s success. The club secured two UEFA Champions League titles and several domestic trophies during his tenure.

« Today marks the end of one of the most significant chapters of my career. Playing for PSG was a privilege and an honor I will always cherish. Together, we created unforgettable moments and achievements—two Champions League titles, domestic trophies, and memories that will stay with everyone involved. I want to thank my teammates, the technical staff, the leadership, and, above all, the supporters. Your belief in me, your support through tough times, and your celebration of every victory were crucial to our success. As I leave, I take a piece of my heart with me.
