The uneasy Gonçalo Ramos raises questions in Portugal. On Friday, several journalists and Portuguese football specialists discussed the case of the Paris Saint-Germain striker on our site. And they were all surprised by his management. Star striker for Benfica, the 22-year-old footballer has become a simple substitute in Paris. However, on paper, recruiting the native of Lisbon had everything to be a good idea since his profile as a pure No. 9 was missing from the capital club. Something to delight Kylian Mbappé, who was tired of playing this role last year. We remember his famous rant about the “pivot gang”.
But in the end, it is KM7 which is currently at the forefront in Paris. Luis Enrique, who tried it with Randal Kolo Muani and Gonçalo Ramos, prefers this option. A hard blow for the Lusitanian international who wanted to take a step forward in his career by joining PSG. This season, he has appeared 19 times in all competitions in the Ile-de-France jersey. But he only started 10 times. If we put aside his match against Revel in the Coupe de France (he started and scored on a penalty), he has not been in the Parisian starting lineup in Ligue 1 since November 24 against Monaco.
Doubts about Ramos
Coming into play against Newcastle and Metz, he also experienced entire matches on the bench. How to explain this? If the Portuguese can do better, he seems to have difficulty finding his place and automatisms with his teammates. PSG’s game doesn’t seem to completely suit him either. Yesterday, Record also revealed that the player was affected by a viral infection. Weakened, he notably lost 6 kg. Which may partly explain its poor form. Despite this, his case raises questions within Paris SG.
The Team explains this Wednesday that the French team is generally disappointed by this element desired by Luis Campos. Luis Enrique believes that he does not correspond to what he expects from PSG number 9. From the upper echelons of the club in Qatar, we are also wondering about this transfer. If PSG assures internally that a departure in January is not on the agenda, in those close to the owners, the discourse is different. Some do not exclude this winter a departure of Jorge Mendes’ colt, purchased for 80 million euros (bonus included). For this to happen, a good offer would have to arrive on the leaders’ table. For the moment, it has not yet arrived…
