Gonçalo ramos’ ac milan move: psg’s second-highest transfer fee earned

The impending transfer of Gonçalo Ramos to AC Milan, valued at an estimated 60 million euros, marks a significant moment for Paris Saint-Germain. This deal places Ramos as the second most valuable sale in PSG’s history, with only Neymar’s 90 million euro departure to Al-Hilal in 2023 surpassing it.

Paris Saint-Germain is finalizing one of its most substantial outgoing transfers to date. The Parisian club has reached an agreement with AC Milan for the services of Gonçalo Ramos, with the deal reportedly worth around 60 million euros. This major transaction will secure PSG’s position for its second-largest sale ever, despite the club incurring a slight financial loss on the player. Ramos was initially acquired permanently for 65 million euros, following a season-long loan valued at 20 million. The Portuguese forward’s tenure in Paris concludes without him having fully justified the considerable investment.

Neymar remains at the pinnacle of PSG’s all-time transfer sales chart. The Brazilian star was sold to Al-Hilal in the summer of 2023 for a staggering 90 million euros. Six years prior, he had arrived at PSG in what was then the most expensive transfer in football history, with 222 million euros disbursed to FC Barcelona. However, his journey in Saudi Arabia proved to be brief and largely uneventful, marked by just seven appearances, one goal, and three assists.

Prior to Ramos’s imminent departure, no other Parisian sale had crossed the symbolic 50 million euro threshold. That distinction previously belonged to Manuel Ugarte, who moved to Manchester United in the final hours of the 2024 summer transfer window for 50 million euros. This came just one year after his 60 million euro arrival from Sporting CP. The sale was ultimately a shrewd move by PSG, as the Uruguayan midfielder has yet to firmly establish himself with the Red Devils, despite a respectable first season tallying 45 matches, 2 goals, and 6 assists.

Xavi Simons’ definitive transfer also significantly bolstered PSG’s coffers. Thanks to a particularly advantageous contractual arrangement, PSG secured between 50 and 80 million euros from the sale of the Dutch attacking midfielder to RB Leipzig, a deal finalized in the winter of 2025. Months later, Simons made a move to Tottenham, where he quickly became one of the key figures in the Spurs’ successful campaign to avoid relegation.

ronaldinho: a historical anomaly

Further down the list of PSG’s most significant sales are Marco Verratti, who transferred to Al-Arabi for 45 million euros in 2023, and Gonçalo Guedes, sold to Valencia for 40 million. Following them are David Luiz, who returned to Chelsea in 2016 for 35 million, and Ronaldinho. The Brazilian icon stands as the sole representative from the pre-QSI era in this Top 20, having been transferred to FC Barcelona for just over 30 million euros.

As the official announcement of Gonçalo Ramos’s move approaches, another transfer saga could soon accelerate. Lee Kang-in, currently under contract until 2028, maintains a strong market valuation. The South Korean international, boasting 50 caps and 10 goals for his country, continues to attract persistent interest from Atlético de Madrid, who have been closely monitoring his situation for several weeks.
