Italian press marvels at gonçalo ramos’s ac milan transfer impact

This transfer marks the first major acquisition for PSG this summer, with the capital club reaching an agreement with AC Milan for Gonçalo Ramos. The €74 million price tag initially raised eyebrows among the Italian press. However, perceptions are rapidly shifting, especially after the Portuguese goalscorer’s decisive entry into a World Cup match, where he netted the crucial goal that secured qualification for the Round of 16 against Croatia. There’s a palpable eagerness among Italian football commentators to witness his skills firsthand in Serie A.

Italian football commentators already captivated by Gonçalo Ramos

“Ramos is already soaring, with Portugal at his feet. And Milan is absolutely thrilled… As the club’s most expensive signing in history, Ramos is destined to be the cornerstone of our attack, particularly as Leão is expected to depart, no longer fitting into the team’s long-term vision. AC Milan has endured a nearly two-decade struggle to find a consistent, high-quality center-forward. Since the golden era of Inzaghi and Shevchenko, with only fleeting exceptions like Ibrahimović and Giroud, the club has faced a succession of disappointments and failed experiments: Morata and Origi, Giménez and Kalinić, Piątek and Füllkrug. It’s as if a hex has been cast upon this jersey, a curse that only a true wizard could break,” remarked a leading Italian sports daily, reflecting the widespread sentiment.

Will he be the worthy successor to Inzaghi and Shevchenko?

This enthusiasm resonates deeply across the Italian sporting landscape. Another prominent Italian publication expressed great anticipation for Gonçalo Ramos to don the Rossoneri colors: “Witnessing him rise majestically to score a header in a match that could redefine Portugal’s World Cup journey surely sent shivers of excitement through AC Milan supporters. The most thrilling encounter of this World Cup was ultimately decided by AC Milan’s new spearhead. He hadn’t yet made a resounding statement, but he has certainly made up for it in the most spectacular fashion possible.”
