Arriving at Paris Saint-Germain in 2023 from Benfica, 23-year-old striker Gonçalo Ramos had a difficult adjustment period, with a long illness followed by an injury in the first half of the 2024-2025 season. Although things have improved since then, he has not fully established himself, and rumors are mounting. On Thursday, L’Equipe took a look at the Portuguese international’s situation.
“In recent months, the player has accepted his status as second-choice striker.”
“The coaching staff, while aware that his profile does not fully match what they expect from a center forward, have always praised the number 9’s attitude on a daily basis. He is also appreciated by his teammates for his sunny disposition.
PSG, which is aware of the significant investment made (€65 million), is not ready to sell him off, but is sending a message to the market that it is open to discussion in the event of an interesting offer. In recent months, the player has accepted his status as second-choice striker. However, this does not prevent his representatives from keeping an eye on the market.”
As always when faced with a rumor, we remain cautious. Even if the sports newspaper isn’t taking any big risks here. What may come as a surprise, however, is seeing Ramos accept his role and be willing to stay. This doesn’t mean he isn’t hoping for a change by scoring points, but he wouldn’t be looking to leave. Contrary to what some people think.
Perhaps the Portuguese player is well aware of the fierce competition he faces in a team that wants to win everything. He may also be hoping for more opportunities in a very busy schedule. It will be up to him to seize these opportunities to prove himself, build confidence, and rediscover the scoring touch that made his reputation at Benfica.
