In the 23-second clip, Pauleta discusses some of his 109 goals for the club before saying: “Now it’s your turn to make PSG history.”
The video then shows some of Ramos’ goals at the World Cup, where he scored a hat-trick after Cristiano Ronaldo was left out of Portugal’s starting XI in the round of 16.
Now, former Benfica star Ramos has reportedly signed for a transfer fee of £68million.
The first year of the move comes in the form of a loan, with the French club having an option to buy in 2024.
The deal was structured this way for reasons of financial fair play.
Ramos said of his move: “I am very proud and happy to move to Paris Saint-Germain.”
“PSG is one of the biggest clubs in the world with one of the best squads.”
The 22-year-old scored 27 goals in 47 games for Benfica last season.

Ramos was considered one of Manchester United’s key transfer targets this summer.
Ultimately, however, the Red Devils signed Rasmus Hojlund on a £64m deal that grew to £72m.
