August 07, (THEWILL) – Paris Saint-Germain have welcomed Portuguese talent, Goncalo Ramos, into their ranks, following a one-year loan agreement with Benfica, as confirmed by the reigning French champions on Monday.
The 22-year-old made a significant impact last season with an impressive 19 league goals in 30 matches, solidifying his status as a rising star in football. Notably, his standout performance during the 2022 World Cup included a hat-trick and an assist in Portugal’s victory over Switzerland, further establishing his reputation as a formidable attacker.
Ramos conveyed his enthusiasm for joining PSG through an official statement, expressing his pride and joy. The forward commended the club’s global prominence and exceptional team, underlining the importance of this pivotal career move. Ramos now stands as the eighth signing for PSG this summer, joining a constellation of top-tier talents, including Lucas Hernandez and Marco Asensio, all of whom will reinforce the squad’s depth and offensive capabilities.
As PSG prepare for the commencement of their Ligue 1 title defense against Lorient this Saturday, the anticipation is tinged with uncertainty surrounding Kylian Mbappe’s future. With just one year left on his contract, the French club has been keen to avoid losing Mbappe on a free transfer next year. The 24-year-old captain has declined to commit to a new contract, sparking rumours of a potential move to Real Madrid.
This ongoing standoff led to his omission from the squad’s tour of Japan and South Korea, with Mbappe now training alongside the reserves in preparation for the forthcoming season.
