Former Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is wasting no time spending at AC Milan, who have officially announced the club-record acquisition of Gonçalo Ramos from Paris Saint-Germain.
Ramos completed a €74 million ($84 million) move to surpass the club's previous record established in 2019, when it brought in Rafael Leão from Lille for €49.5 million ($56.5 million). The pair are unlikely to share a dressing room, however, as Leão has expressed his desire to pursue the next phase of his career away from Italy.
His compatriot will now be handed the reins of the Rossoneri's attack for the foreseeable future. Ramos has signed a deal running through June 2031, even as he currently represents Portugal at the 2026 World Cup.
His move marks Amorim's first signing since taking charge at Milan—one that many had speculated might be a former United player.
AC Milan Desperate to Bounce Back Under Amorim
The Rossoneri are coming off yet another disappointing campaign that cost former manager Massimiliano Allegri his position, along with sporting director Igli Tare, chief executive Giorgio Furlani, and technical director Geoffrey Moncada.
Milan ended up fifth in Serie A, dropping out of the Champions League spots on the final day of the 2025-26 season following a frustrating 2–1 loss to Cagliari. The club will compete in the Europa League next term, a far cry from the heights it once reached.
Much of Milan's struggles stemmed from an inconsistent attack. Christian Pulisic, who began the season in blistering form, failed to score a single goal in 2026. Leão fared little better, netting just four times after the new year. Christopher Nkunku, meanwhile, wrapped up his campaign with eight goals.
The signing of Ramos signals Amorim's clear ambition to inject new life into the attack with a proven frontman. The Portuguese striker netted 45 goals in 131 outings for PSG, contributing to three Ligue 1 titles and two Champions League triumphs, among other trophies.
Securing regular minutes at PSG proved difficult for Ramos, given the formidable attacking trio of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane Dembélé, and Désiré Doué. Now with a fresh start at a new club in a different league, the 24-year-old has every opportunity to deliver a standout season.

Amorim Still 'Eyeing' Reunion With Man Utd Defender
The Ramos deal is only the beginning of Amorim's summer business, having penned a two-year agreement with the club back in June. Earlier reports suggested the 41-year-old could look to reunite with some of his former Old Trafford players at San Siro—and those rumors show no signs of fading.
Italian journalist Antonio Vitiello claims Amorim is "obsessed" with Lisandro Martínez and Sporting Lisbon's Gonçalo Inacio. The coach is hoping to land one of the two defenders, with discussions already underway.
Martínez has just one year remaining on his United deal before he becomes a free agent next summer. If the club intends to recoup a fee for the Argentine, this window represents their best opportunity.

The defender's stint at Old Trafford has been plagued by injury setbacks. Martínez made 45 appearances in his first season, but managed only 65 across his following three campaigns combined. A string of fitness issues, including an ACL injury in 2024–25, severely curtailed his contributions.
Nevertheless, he remains a key figure in Michael Carrick's backline when fit. United hold the option to extend his contract by a further season should they wish to keep him out of Amorim's hands, though no such decision has been made as yet.
