Yesterday, in Australia, Milan entered a new era. At least, that is what everyone hopes. Because Gonçalo Ramos, the Portuguese striker who cost €75 million, the most expensive signing in the history of the Rossoneri club, is the No. 9 that Amorim and the fans will rely on to pull themselves out of the struggles of recent years.
The Italian newspaper 'Corriere dello Sport' dedicated an article to him, highlighting that Ramos has shown throughout his career that he knows how to score goals:
"From Olhão, his hometown, Ramos will try to bring goals in abundance; the town is known for having a huge source of drinking water, which over the centuries has attracted people to settle there, providing water to generations of inhabitants. Milan, after a last season lacking goals, invested €75 million believing in the Gonçalo well. His career so far has shown that he is a calculated risk: 237 professional appearances, with 86 goals scored and 22 assists. In the last three seasons, as a substitute in Paris Saint-Germain's star-studded attack, he has scored 45 goals in 131 matches, playing a total of 5,394 minutes; the average is a good one: one goal every 120 minutes played."
Gonçalo Ramos, a precise request from Amorim
Amorim strongly pushed for his signing: he will deploy him as the lone striker in the 3-4-2-1 system, supported on the left by Pulisic and on the right by the potential new left-footed attacking midfielder requested in the transfer market. The idea is to make him perform an all-round role:
"Not just goals," Corriere dello Sport explained, "are part of the Portuguese striker's skill set: the 1999-born forward combines more than decent technical ability with good acceleration, a characteristic that allows him to be decisive even in the first pressing phase against the opponent's build-up."
