Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Aston Villa will have the opportunity to sign Goncalo Ramos, valued at £80 million, this summer.
According to a report by The Sun, Jorge Mendes has offered Goncalo Ramos to several Premier League clubs. Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Aston Villa are three of the teams in the hunt. Meanwhile, Benfica will demand £80 million to part ways with the Portuguese striker.
Goncalo Ramos has burst into the limelight following Darwin Nunez’s departure from Benfica last summer. The 21-year-old embraced the added responsibility to become the leader of the club’s attack. And he became a well-rounded striker as the season progressed, influencing the play with goals and assists.
The Portuguese striker has also risen in stature on the international stage, smashing a hat-trick in the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Meanwhile, Ramos amassed 27 goals and 12 assists in 47 appearances across all competitions for Benfica. And the youngster’s progress has captured the attention of several high-profile clubs. Meanwhile, Jorge Mendes has offered him to Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Tottenham.
Ramos has been on Manchester United’s radar for a long time. And recent reports have claimed that the youngster is a top target for the Red Devils. So Mendes’s offer has come at the right time for Manchester United. And with Anthony Martial failing to impress this past season, Ramos will be a top-class replacement.
As for Tottenham, the North London club can target the 21-year-old as a replacement for Harry Kane. Widespread reports have linked the English international with several clubs, including Manchester United. And with Daniel Levy charging a premium for the 29-year-old, Tottenham might be in a position to afford Benfica’s price tag of £80 million.
The same might not be true for Aston Villa, even though the Villans’ financial situation is healthy. In addition, Ollie Watkins enjoyed an excellent 2022/23 season. So it does not make sense for Aston Villa to invest £80 million in a striker, even if he is potentially world-class.

Mendes has also offered the Portuguese international to Newcastle United and West Ham United. But Manchester United might be the best-placed club to secure Ramos’s services in the summer transfer window in a deal worth £80 million.
