Gonçalo Ramos' stats fuel fears of Milan's No. 9 curse
Gonçalo Ramos, currently at Paris Saint-Germain, has been linked with a move to AC Milan, but his goal return at the French champions has done little to reassure fans. Ramos has struggled to deliver consistently as a central striker for PSG, and his overall career scoring numbers fall short of what Milan supporters expect from a marquee No. 9. The article frames the potential transfer against the backdrop of Milan's recent history of high-profile centre-forward signings — from André Silva to Gonzalo Higuaín — that failed to live up to expectations, reviving the so-called 'curse' of the rossoneri No. 9 shirt.
Read the full story at football-italia.netMilan's search for a reliable centre-forward has been a recurring problem, and the discussion around Ramos highlights how the club's recent striking signings have consistently underperformed relative to expectations. Ramos has shown flashes of quality, particularly with Portugal and Benfica, but his PSG output raises legitimate questions about whether he can carry the goalscoring burden in Serie A. For Milan supporters, the conversation is less about Ramos as a player and more about a pattern: the No. 9 shirt at San Siro has become symbolic of failed marquee investments, and any new arrival will be judged against that heavy historical baggage.
