O performance of Gonçalo Ramos at AC Milan continues to deserve a lot of media attention in Italy. Daniele Adani, a former Italian player who represented clubs such as Inter or Fiorentina, came out in defense of the Portuguese advance, stressing that his contribution to the team goes far beyond the goals scored. 

 

“ It makes the team grow, but it's way below the desired number of goals. And sometimes the goals, in addition to giving him confidence, help solve certain situations and allow him to work a little better, also for his benefit”, started by saying Adani, in the podcast “Viva El Futbol”, counting on the company of the former Italian players Antonio Cassano and Nicola Ventola. 

“ I know it's very easy, and even legitimate, to be skeptical and critical. I ask you to be convinced that he knows how to play football and that he is, in my opinion, ambitious without being selfish. It's an asset on a team that's growing and asserting itself. I see it in the ideas of Ruben Amorim, also in his philosophy of play, where you are an offensive reference with four lines behind you, as if you were the spearhead of all fast-attack moves. I tell you that I see him happy, even when he does not mark”, defended the old Italian international. 

The business values with PSG..

Hired to PSG last summer, Gonçalo Ramos quickly caused enthusiasm in San Siro, but has been criticized in recent weeks for the reduced number of goals. After the first 14 games in AC Milan's sweater, the Portuguese international scores three goals, a record that will always be judged taking into account what it cost. 

Calcio and Finanza had access to documents from the transfer of Gonçalo Ramos and revealed that PSG can fit up to 86 million euros with the departure of the advanced Portuguese. EUR 70 million are fixed and should be paid by AC Milan by 2029, with an additional EUR 16 million in previously established objectives.

  • Qualification for the regular phase of the Champions League: 1.2 million
  • Qualification for Champions League quarter finals: 1 million
  • Qualification for Champions League semifinals: 1 million
  • Qualification for the Champions League final: 1 million
  • Champions League Conquest: 1 million
  • Best Serie A scorer: 2 million

...and Amorim's defense

Despite being far from the expected goalie, at least at this stage of the season, Ruben Amorim refuses to drop the compatriot and returned to his defense after the victory of AC Milan in Genoa, which was pulled out last Sunday.

“ We don't spend enough time in that area of the land to help. Ramos getting more balls. The problem is not Ramos, it is the team, who cannot get the ball more often to this area, where it can be decisive ", explained the Portuguese technician, in the flash interview of DAZN.  

The Portuguese international is now at the orders of Jorge Jesus in the national team preparing to face Denmark and Wales on this double League of Nations journey.
