The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is on the verge of finalizing one of the most significant departures in its history. The club has reached an agreement with AC Milan for the transfer of Gonçalo Ramos, valued at approximately 60 million euros. This deal will mark the second-largest sale in PSG’s history, though it comes with a slight financial loss. Ramos was acquired permanently for 65 million euros in 2023 after a season-long loan with a 20 million euro fee. Despite his potential, the Portuguese striker leaves the club without fully justifying the investment.

Where does this transfer rank in PSG’s financial history?

Only one PSG sale surpasses Gonçalo Ramos’ transfer: the departure of Neymar to Al-Hilal in 2023 for 90 million euros. The Brazilian star, who had joined PSG in 2017 for 222 million euros—the most expensive transfer in football history—left for Saudi Arabia with a disappointing record: just seven appearances, one goal, and three assists.

Before Ramos, no PSG player had ever been sold for over 50 million euros. The previous record was set by Manuel Ugarte, transferred to Manchester United in 2024 for 50 million euros, just a year after his arrival from Sporting CP for 60 million euros. While Ugarte had a statistically solid first season (45 matches, 2 goals, 6 assists), his adaptation at the English club remains under scrutiny.

Another transfer that significantly boosted PSG’s finances was Xavi Simons’ sale to RB Leipzig in early 2025. The club recouped between 50 and 80 million euros through a strategically advantageous contract before Simons moved to Tottenham Hotspur, where he has since become a key player in the team’s survival efforts.

As the official announcement of Gonçalo Ramos’ departure approaches, another potential transfer could take shape soon. Lee Kang-in, under contract until 2028, remains a sought-after figure. The South Korean international, with 50 caps and 10 goals for his national team, has drawn interest from Atlético Madrid, which has been monitoring his situation closely for weeks.
