AC Milan have officially signed Gonçalo Ramos from Paris Saint-Germain for a club-record fee of €74 million plus add-ons, with the total rising to a potential €90 million should all performance-related clauses be triggered. Both clubs announced the deal on June 30, 2026. The 25-year-old Portuguese striker has signed a contract with the Rossoneri until June 30, 2031, and becomes head coach Rúben Amorim’s first signing since taking charge at Milan.
The fee smashes AC Milan’s previous transfer record of €49.5 million, set when Rafael Leão arrived from Lille in 2019. It is also among the largest fees ever paid by a Serie A club.

Who Is Gonçalo Ramos?
Born in Olhão on June 20, 2001, Ramos is a 25-year-old centre-forward who stands 184 centimetres tall and plays as a focal point striker. He combines clinical finishing with intelligent pressing, positional awareness, and aerial ability.
He rose through Benfica’s youth academy and made his professional debut in 2019, going on to make over 100 appearances for the Lisbon club and scoring 41 goals. His final season at Benfica delivered the Liga Portugal title in 2022-23 before he moved to PSG.
Ramos made his mark on the global stage at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, when Portugal manager Fernando Santos started him ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo in the round of 16 against Switzerland. He responded with a hat-trick and an assist in a 6-1 win — becoming the first player to score a World Cup hat-trick on their full debut since 1958. He has since earned 26 caps and scored 10 goals at senior international level, and was part of the Portugal squad that won the 2024-25 UEFA Nations League.
Three Years at PSG
Ramos joined PSG on loan in August 2023 before the club made the deal permanent for approximately €65 million. Despite never fully establishing himself as the undisputed starter under Luis Enrique, he accumulated an impressive haul across three seasons in Paris.
In 131 appearances for PSG, he scored 45 goals and provided 10 assists, while his trophy cabinet swelled to 12 titles — including three Ligue 1 championships, two Champions League crowns, two Coupe de France titles, the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup. He scored in the shootout during PSG’s Champions League final victory over Arsenal at Puskas Arena in Budapest on May 30, 2026.
In 2025-26 specifically, Ramos registered 6 goals and 1 assist in 25 Ligue 1 appearances, and contributed 2 goals across 10 Champions League matches.

What It Means for AC Milan
Milan finished fifth in Serie A last season, a result their American ownership group RedBird Capital called an “unequivocal failure.” Rúben Amorim’s appointment as head coach was the first step in rebuilding, and the signing of Ramos — medical completed in Florida while he was on World Cup duty — signals clear intent.
Ramos joins a forward line that includes Rafael Leão and Christian Pulisic, giving Amorim a proven European striker to anchor the attack. Milan’s Serie A campaign begins with an away fixture at Torino on August 23, 2026.
