Gonçalo Ramos has made an unexpected appearance at AC Milan‘s Milanello training complex, arriving unannounced while officially still on post-World Cup vacation.
The Portuguese striker recently finalised his permanent switch from Paris Saint-Germain to the Serie A side. Various reports indicate the transfer fee falls between €74 million and €90 million, depending on bonus clauses and performance-related add-ons. Ramos had been representing Portugal at the 2026 World Cup across the United States, Canada and Mexico, with his tournament ending at the quarter-final stage.
Surprise Visit
Despite the early elimination granting him several additional weeks of mandated leave, the forward chose to travel to Italy with his family. Head coach Ruben Amorim and club owner Gerry Cardinale both greeted the striker upon his arrival at the training ground, before he was introduced to his new team-mates.
The visit allowed Ramos to inspect the training infrastructure before returning to Lisbon to complete his scheduled rest period. Sources suggest he wanted to assess the facilities before commencing work properly over the summer. He is expected to rejoin the squad formally once his vacation concludes.
Pre-Season Context
The player’s decision to appear at Milanello during his personal time demonstrates his eagerness to begin his new chapter in Italian football. His arrival coincided with the first day of pre-season preparations for the entire senior squad assembling under Amorim.
Ramos will spend the coming weeks in Portugal before making his permanent return to Milan for the start of the competitive preparation period.
