In the 23-second clip, Pauleta is seen voicing over some of his 109 goals for the club, before saying: “Now it’s your turn to write PSG’s history.”
The video then shows some of Ramos’ goals from the World Cup, where he famously scored a hat-trick after Cristiano Ronaldo was dropped from the Portugal starting XI in the Round of 16.
Now former Benfica ace Ramos has reportedly signed for a total fee of £68million.
The first year of the move will be in the form of a loan, with the French outfit having an option to buy in 2024.
The deal has been structured this way due to Financial Fair Play issues.
On his move, Ramos said: “I’m very proud and happy to join Paris Saint-Germain.
“PSG are 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.

It comes after Neymar told PSG he wants to leave the club, with Chelsea emerging as shock contenders to strike a deal.
Superstar Kylian Mbappe also announced his intention to not renew his contract in Paris beyond next summer.
Ramos had been earmarked as one of Manchester United’s main transfer targets this summer.
However, the Red Devils ultimately went on to sign Rasmus Hojlund in a £64m deal rising to £72m.
