Gonçalo Ramos has completed a move to Serie A side Milan, following Portugal’s 2-1 victory over Croatia at the 2026 World Cup, according to reports. The forward scored the winning goal in added time, securing Portugal’s place in the round of sixteen where they will face Spain.
The match saw a flurry of disallowed goals, with Croatia having two strikes ruled out for offside in the second half, and a late equaliser from Gvardiol also chalked off. Ramos’s decisive header came from a cross delivered by Rafael Leão, capping off a dramatic encounter at the Toronto Stadium.
Ramos has been a rising star in European football, demonstrating his goal-scoring ability with Benfica before this transfer. While the financial details of the deal were not immediately disclosed in the report, Milan will be hoping he can replicate his international form in Serie A. The Portuguese international will add attacking depth to Milan’s squad.
Portugal initially fell behind to a goal from Ivan Perisic in the 53rd minute, but Cristiano Ronaldo equalised from the penalty spot in the 68th minute after a foul on Vlasic. The game appeared headed for extra time before Ramos’s late intervention. This victory ensures Portugal advances, while Croatia is eliminated from the tournament. Ramos’s arrival at Milan is expected to bolster their attacking options as they prepare for the upcoming season, and he will be looking to establish himself as a key player in the Milan attack.
