    Let \(c_n(a)\) denote the Ramanujan sum defined as the sum of \(a\)-th powers of the primitive \(n\)-th roots of unity, and evaluated as \[ c_n(a) = \sum_{d\mid (n,a)} d\mu(n/d), \] where \(\mu\) is the Möbius function. An arithmetic function \(g\) admits a Ramanujan expansion in \(A\subset\mathbb{N}\) if \[ g(a)= \sum_{n\ge 1} \widehat{g}(n) c_n(a) \] for every \(a\in A\), where \(\widehat{g}\) is a suitable arithmetic function. Assuming that \(\widehat{g}\) is multiplicative, \textit{G. Coppola} [``Finite and infinite Euler products of Ramanujan expansions'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:191014640}] has proved that the convergence of the subseries \(\sum_{(n,a)=1} \widehat{g}(n)\mu(n)\) implies the convergence of \(\sum_{n\ge 1} \widehat{g}(n)c_n(a)\). The author of the present paper proves certain new related results.
