Rúben Amorim wasted no time establishing his presence in Milan: the new coach of the rossoneri has identified Portuguese international Gonçalo Ramos, currently at Paris Saint-Germain, as his top priority to strengthen the attacking line for the upcoming season. The transfer market is set to heat up with this revelation, which has taken many fans by surprise and makes it clear that Amorim is seeking a leading striker capable of restoring Milan’s lost prominence in Serie A and European competitions.
The confirmation of Amorim as the new coach of Milan was officially announced this Tuesday, with the former Manchester United manager signing a contract valid for the next three seasons. According to leading Italian newspapers Gazzetta dello Sport and Tuttosport, the first demand of the Portuguese coach is precisely the arrival of Gonçalo Ramos, a 25-year-old forward who has been making headlines at PSG and was a key player in the Parisians’ last Champions League campaign. PSG has set a high bar: they will only negotiate the transfer of the Portuguese international for amounts around 40 million euros. Nevertheless, Milan is willing to match this offer, although they prefer, for now, to pursue a loan agreement with an obligation to buy in 2027.
The context could not be more electrifying: Milan demands a striker worthy of its history, and Amorim knows exactly what is at stake. Milan finished last season below expectations, and the pressure to return to the spotlight is overwhelming. Gonçalo Ramos fits the profile of a modern forward, physically strong, with a killer instinct and mobility—characteristics that have been lacking in the Rossoneri’s attack in recent years. For Amorim, who aims to implement an offensive and pressing style of football, the compatriot emerges as the man capable of leading the attack and bringing excitement back to San Siro.
The negotiation promises to be intense, and Jorge Mendes plays a central role here. The Portuguese super-agent represents Gonçalo Ramos and has already initiated exploratory contacts with PSG and AC Milan, seeking to secure advantageous conditions for all parties. Both Ramos and Amorim have previously expressed a desire to work together. In recent statements following PSG’s defeat to Sporting, Gonçalo Ramos did not hide his frustration: “We came here to win, but we leave hating Sporting.” These words, spoken in January this year, demonstrate Ramos’s ambition and hunger for titles, something that could work in favor of Milan in this negotiation process.
According to Tuttosport, Milan also has other options in mind, namely Darwin Núñez, the former Liverpool striker who currently plays for Al-Hilal, now managed by Simone Inzaghi. However, all indications suggest that Gonçalo Ramos is, for Amorim, the top priority and the dossier that could unlock the entire Milan market strategy.
If the deal progresses, the impact would be immediate: Ramos would have the opportunity to secure a starting position in one of the most iconic teams in Europe, while Amorim would gain a key piece for his new project. Milan could thus reposition itself as a title contender in Italy and as a dangerous outsider in the Champions League. For the fans, the expectation is enormous—they want to see fresh blood and attractive football, with a striker capable of deciding big games. In the coming days, all eyes will be on Jorge Mendes’s movements and PSG’s response. The outcome of this process could be the first major blow of the European transfer market this summer.
