According to A Bola, PSG have received the first official offer from Milan for the signing of Ramos. The Portuguese striker is a top priority for the Rossoneri to strengthen their attack, and the club’s management intends to fulfil the wishes of Ruben Amorim, who gave the green light to sign him.
Negotiations ongoing
On the table is a package deal (including performance-related bonuses) that could reach €45m, slightly below PSG’s valuation of €50m. This difference shouldn’t be enough to prevent the deal from going through, but there are still details to be worked out.
That’s what Milan and Jorge Mendes are currently working on. For the Portuguese international, who recently turned 25, a long-term contract is being prepared. It is a four or five-year deal and €4m net per year, a salary similar to what he earns in Paris.
The directors want to speed up the deal because they know the competition is fierce, especially from Atlético Madrid. Unlike the Diavolo, they have secured a place in next season’s Champions League. However, the fact Milan will play Europa League football does not seem to have deterred Ramos.
After three seasons in Paris, and despite having a contract until 2028, Ramos feels it’s time to close the cycle at the club where his compatriots Nuno Mendes, Vitinha and João Neves also play.
Milan ‘should indeed be the next step in his career’ they add, as Amorim is ‘close to having his first request fulfilled’.
