The future of Portuguese striker Gonzalo Ramos is heading away from Paris Saint-Germain, given his clear exclusion from manager Luis Enrique’s plans. Enrique doesn’t see the player as suited to his attacking style, which relies on movement, pressing, and participation in building play.
Over the past few months, Ramos’s role within the team has remained secondary and unstable, with no indication of this changing. This has led the club’s management to accept the idea of his departure, even with Luis Enrique remaining at the helm.

Within the corridors of Paris Saint-Germain, it has become an accepted fact that Ramos will not become a regular starter, despite his goal-scoring potential and young age. The Spanish coach prefers to rely on tactically flexible strikers capable of moving between the lines and creating opportunities, which places the former Benfica striker outside the current project.
Consequently, the Parisian club is not opposed to facilitating the player’s departure during the upcoming summer transfer window, even for a fee significantly lower than the transfer fee paid for him, as part of the team’s restructuring plan according to the coaching staff’s vision.
Paris Saint-Germain’s priority isn’t recouping their initial investment, but rather finalizing the deal quickly to free up funds for new signings that align with Luis Enrique’s requirements. Enrique isn’t opposed to letting the player go as soon as possible.
In this context, Barcelona emerges as one of the most likely destinations for Ramos, especially given the good relationship between the two clubs. This could facilitate an agreement involving a loan with a low purchase option, or a direct transfer at a reduced price.
For its part, Barcelona isn’t ruling out the possibility of signing a number 9 striker, particularly in the medium term, as they continue to search for attacking options to bolster the team’s future. Club officials believe Ramos possesses technical and age-appropriate qualities that can be developed further, making him a viable option if the right financial terms are met.
However, the final decision remains contingent on developments in the transfer market. Barcelona’s coaching staff prefers to sign a striker who represents a clear quality addition, making the deal dependent on the balance of supply and demand and the available opportunities.
Between Paris Saint-Germain’s desire to offload the player quickly and Barcelona’s anticipation of a low-cost opportunity, next summer seems crucial in determining Gonzalo Ramos’s fate, either as a surprise strategic deal or as an option that falls through without completion.
