Gonçalo Ramos went back to being ‘in white’, in the tie with Sassuolo, and no longer knows what it is to score by AC Milan since August. The Italian sports press does not forgive, and already questions Ruben Amorim's bet.

O AC Milan is late in finding the much-desired stability, and this Sunday he again made a step in Serie A by not having been able to go beyond a tie to a ball with Sassuolo, in the trip to Città del Tricolore. A circumstance that begins to raise questions about, not only Ruben Amorim, but also Gonçalo Ramos.
The Portuguese international was the great bet of the rossneri for the new sport season of 2026/27, which shows the high investment made (at the value of 74 million euros) for the ‘rescue’ of Paris Saint-Germain, but the truth is that, in the seven games in which it was used (all as holder), only one was able to score.
Unable to continue the good moment experienced in the main national team (three goals were in the first four days of the League of Nations group phase), the advanced formed in Benfica no longer knows what it is to make the taste by foot for the new club since the past fia 28 August, when it paved the way for triumph over Venezia, by 2-0.
The Italian sports press doesn't spare him. This Monday, the newspaper Tuttosport gives him note 5 (on a scale of 0 to 10), stressing that, with the exception of a shot for defense of Arijanet Muric, Samuel Chukwueze’s pass, “was a true ectoplasm within the great opposing area.”.
Evaluation of the journal Corriere dello Sport it was 5.5, with the justification that “their only opportunities arrived at the end of the first half”, but that, in the “rest” of the meeting of the sixth round of the main stage of transalpine football, “no longer was seen”. A Gazzetta dello Sport he went further and dedicated an extensive article.
“AC Milan is beginning to feel the urgency of making its advanced score goals. This current record is simply not enough. The advanced purchased for more than 70 million euros risks being catalogued as overrated player. On social networks, some are starting to talk about a ‘Ghostalo’, the ghost spearhead”, shot.
The Gate Tuttomercatoweb, for his part, warns that the 25-year-old player may even become “a problem”, and recalls that, in order to get to Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, the board was obliged to “sacrifice” Santiago Giménez (which was loaned to FC Porto) and Christopher Nkunku (which was given to Lepzig).
What's next for Gonçalo Ramos and company?
In the face of such a 'dry' of criticism, there is no alternative to Gonçalo Ramos except to respond... within the four lines. Something he himself will try to do, as early as Thursday, at 5:45 p.m. (Hour of Continental Portugal), in the duel of the second round of the League Europa league, against Salzburg, at the Red Bull Arena.
Until the next break for international commitments, AC Milan will also face Atalanta (on October 18, at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza), Bournemouth (on October 22, at Dean Court), Udinese (on October 25, at Stadio Friuli), Bologna (on October 28, at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza), Internazionale (on October 31, at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza), Ferencváros (on November 5, at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza) and Genoa (on November 8, at Stadio Communale Luigi Ferraris).
