Benfica president Rui Costa believes Manchester United will come close to liking Goncalo Ramos this summer, according to Correio da Manha (page 10).
The Portuguese striker was in fine form for the Primeira Liga giants last season, scoring 27 goals and providing 12 assists in 47 appearances in all competitions.
His progress has attracted the attention of several European clubs, but United and Paris Saint-Germain should lead the race to secure his signing.
Correio da Manha reports that Costa has already turned down €50m plus €10m in add-ons from an unnamed club for Ramos, and that he is seeking at least €80m.
The Benfica president believes that as the market evolves, players like United and PSG would be willing to move closer to the asking price for the 22-year-old. United must act quickly to sign Ramos
United and Paris Saint-Germain have been named potential suitors for Ramos but the latter could take an approach based on Kylian Mbappe’s future.
Mbappe has made it clear he won’t renew his contract, which expires next summer. If he goes to the exit, Les Parisiens could secure the services of Ramos.
United must therefore act quickly to sign the Portugal international, who is one of the most wanted strikers after a wonderful 12 months for club and country.
Ramos netted an impressive 39 goals for Benfica last season. He also scored a sensational hat-trick against Switzerland in the round of 16 of the World Cup.
His reputation has steadily risen and in our view he would be a first-rate asset to United.
Aside from his commitment to goals, Ramos excelled with his regular high blood pressure and tireless work rate. Last season he won no less than 4.9 duels per game.
Ramos also excelled with his ability to hold the game and make key passes from deep positions. He is very mobile and would be a perfect match for manager Erik ten Hag.
