This summer, after three years at Paris Saint-Germain, Gonçalo Ramos left to join AC Milan. The move was a significant transfer, as revealed by Calcio e Finanza. Journalist Guillaume Pacini reported the figures behind the deal for the 25-year-old striker:
” – €70 million fixed fee – €3.1 million in commissions (€73.1 million recorded on the balance sheet) – Payment to PSG to be made in four installments of €17.5 million, due on July 15th each year from 2026 to 2029.
Negotiated bonuses: – Scudetto (Serie A title): €2 million – Qualification for the Champions League league phase: €1.2 million – Champions League quarter-finals, semi-finals, and final: €1 million each – Champions League victory: €1 million – Serie A top scorer: €2 million. These bonuses are cumulative—even across multiple seasons—up to a limit of €16 million, bringing the potential total to a maximum of €86 million.
These bonuses are contingent upon Ramos participating in at least 60% of the matches for which he is available. If he misses 50% or more of the season’s matches, no bonuses can be paid, with the exception of the bonus for becoming the Serie A top scorer.”
It is interesting to see all the components of a transfer; it really highlights the many intricate details involved. This explains why negotiations can be lengthy—or even stall—even when an agreement seems close and the total fee appears all but settled.
There is a notable gap here between the fixed amount of €70 million and the potential total of €86 million, should all the bonuses be triggered. For the time being, it is safer to assume that Paris will receive the initial fixed sum—and even that will not be paid out immediately. Especially since Ramos has yet to fully establish himself at Milan, despite his 3 goals and 2 assists (in 14 matches across all competitions). We certainly hope he has a fantastic experience there. That would also be a nice bonus for PSG.
