Gonçalo Ramos explains why he left PSG for AC Milan

Gonçalo Ramos has opened up about his decision to leave Paris Saint-Germain for AC Milan, admitting that frustration over his lack of regular playing time played a major role in his departure. The Portugal international had wanted to leave the French champions as early as January 2026 before eventually completing a move to Italy during the summer transfer window.

Despite scoring 45 goals in 131 appearances for PSG and helping the club win major trophies, Ramos struggled to establish himself as a regular starter under Luis Enrique. The striker revealed that he was particularly frustrated by situations in which he scored in four or five consecutive matches without earning a place in the starting line-up. Although he was disappointed, he insisted that he remained professional and used his frustration as motivation.

Ramos explained that PSG initially refused to let him leave in January because the club would have needed to find a replacement. However, sporting director Luis Campos assured him that he would be allowed to depart during the summer. The opportunity to join Milan became more concrete during the World Cup, when Ruben Amorim personally contacted the striker and explained that he wanted him to lead the attack. Ramos said the manager made him feel wanted and convinced him that they could achieve great things together.

The Portuguese forward has already noticed a significant difference in his new environment. At Milan, he is playing as a traditional number nine and feels he has more freedom to demonstrate his strengths. He also revealed that he consulted Portugal teammates who had previously worked with Amorim, and their positive feedback helped reinforce his decision. Ramos admitted that leaving PSG was emotionally difficult because of the strong relationships he had built there, but he is enjoying his new challenge in Serie A and believes the move has given him the opportunity he needed.
