Santiago Giménez with more obstacles at Milan when signing the Portuguese Gonçalo Ramos
Gonçalo Ramos has been confirmed as Milan's reinforcement to shore up their forward line, where the Mexican Santiago Giménez will have greater competition
The future does not look favorable for Santiago Giménez, forward of the Mexican national team, at AC Milan after the hiring of Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim, who as his first decision has approved the signing of his compatriot Gonçalo Ramos, an attacker who played for Paris Saint-Germain.
Santiago Giménez has scored 7 official goals with AC Milan, taking into account his participation in Serie A, the Coppa Italia and the UEFA Champions, but the serious news is that in the season and a half that he has played with the Rossoneri team he managed to score five in half a year and in an entire campaign he came up blank.
Giménez was affected by an injury since last December that practically relegated him from the team for the last six months and for that reason coach Amorín, waiting for Giménez's future to be defined, has chosen to bring in his compatriot Ramos.
The signing of the Portuguese striker generates resentment on the horizon of Santiago Giménez, as he is direct competition in the center forward position, but that is undoubtedly something that the former forward of Cruz Azul of Mexico and Feyenoord of the Netherlands has to be accustomed to living with.
Ramos represents a very high signing for AC Milan, supposedly surpassing what Inter Milan paid for the Belgian Romelu Lukaku in 2019, in addition to exceeding the investment that the Rossonero team itself made for Rafael Leão several years ago and which would be around 74 million euros.
The Milan board took over the services of this forward, leaving other teams that were interested in the Portuguese striker without options. The good relationship between the club's owner, Gerry Cardinale, and the president of PSG, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, was decisive in unblocking a negotiation that progressed rapidly in recent weeks.
Gonçalo Ramos is the first signing of Ruben Amorim's project to seek success with AC Milan, which is why he did not hesitate to bring his compatriot after the attack was the Rossonero team's area of greatest weakness and in this sense, Giménez's presence is threatened.
Ramos also showed interest in joining Milan's ranks, taking into account that he already knows the coach, where he believes that he will have full support when deciding who to put up front instead of other attackers.
While his incorporation is finalized, Gonçalo Ramos continues to concentrate with the Portuguese national team in Florida. So far, the forward has only played a few minutes in the 2026 World Cup, coming on as a substitute in the match against the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and is preparing for the last match of the Group Stage against Colombia.
While there is a version that AC Milan and FC Porto are negotiating the transfer of the Mexican in an amount close to 28 million euros plus seven million in bonuses for a total of $35 million euros ($39 million, 880 thousand dollars).
While those around Orlando City of Major League Soccer (MLS) say that there is no interest in Giménez, much less any negotiation in this regard.
