Ruben Amorim smashes AC Milan transfer record with debut signing

The impact of Ruben Amorim at San Siro has been instantaneous. Without wasting any time in his new role, the manager has secured a landmark deal for the club, marking his first acquisition since taking the helm of AC Milan. The Rossoneri have successfully finalized the high-profile arrival of Portuguese international striker Gonçalo Ramos, who joins from Paris Saint-Germain.

A landmark agreement for the Rossoneri

• AC Milan has officially confirmed the signing of Ramos for a fee valued at approximately £60 million (€70 million), establishing a new transfer record for the historic club. The 25-year-old forward has committed his future to the team with a contract running until 2031.

  This unprecedented investment highlights the determination of the Milanese board to overhaul the squad following a lackluster campaign. By securing Ramos, the club has shattered its previous spending record, which stood at the £42 million paid to Lille for winger Rafael Leão back in 2019.

An impressive professional journey to San Siro

Ramos arrives in Milan boasting an enviable record at both the domestic and international levels. Having developed through the youth systems at Olhanense and Benfica, he gained global recognition by netting a spectacular hat-trick for Portugal against Switzerland during the 2022 World Cup. His tenure in the French capital was equally fruitful, where he flourished under the bright lights of the Parc des Princes.

During his time in Paris, Ramos found the back of the net 45 times in 131 appearances. He played a pivotal role in a trophy-laden era for the club, which included three Ligue 1 titles and two Champions League trophies.

A fresh chapter begins for the Rossoneri

The addition of Ramos is intended to provide the clinical edge that has been absent during the team’s recent struggles. Amorim, who penned a two-year contract last month, is tasked with returning the seven-time European champions to the pinnacle of Italian football. The significant financial backing for this transfer demonstrates that the former Manchester United coach has the full support of the club’s leadership.

With over 100 appearances for Benfica, where he rose as one of Portugal’s most exciting prospects, Ramos offers a blend of physical presence and technical skill. He is expected to lead the Milanese attack immediately as the club strives to reclaim its status in Serie A and ensure a swift return to elite European competition.

The Parisian reshuffle continues

• While Milan celebrates its new star, PSG is already working to fill the void left by the striker’s departure. The French champions, overseen by president Nasser Al-Khelaifi and sporting advisor Luis Campos, have reportedly turned their attention to Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig—a player also tracked by Premier League side Liverpool.

  Coach Luis Enrique is keen to revitalize his squad after a season that saw them claim a second consecutive Champions League title alongside another Ligue 1 crown. It appears that South Korean midfielder Lee Kang-in and French forward Randal Kolo Muani could be moved on to ensure PSG remains compliant with financial fair play regulations while making room for new high-caliber reinforcements.
