Manchester United are interested in Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos and could pay €80 million to sign the Portuguese international.
As reported by ManUtdNews, Benfica president Rui Costa believes that Manchester United will pay close to €80 million for Portuguese international Goncalo Ramos.
Ramos is one of the most talented young attackers in European football right now, and he could prove to be a quality long-term acquisition for Manchester United. The Red Devils need to bring in attacking reinforcements this summer and Ramos could form a quality long-term partnership with Marcus Rashford.
The England international carried the Manchester United attack all by himself last season and he needs more help and support from his teammates. Ramos will certainly share the goalscoring burden with him. So it is hardly surprising that the Portuguese international features on Manchester United’s wishlist.
The talented young Benfica striker scored 27 goals last season, and he managed to score a memorable hat-trick in the World Cup as well. There is no doubt that he is a top-class talent with a massive future and has the ability to establish himself as a key player in the Premier League.
Manchester United managed to return to the UEFA Champions League, and they picked up a domestic trophy last season as well. They will be hoping to challenge for the league title now, and they need quality players in order to bridge the gap with Manchester City.
Improving their attacking unit should be a top priority for manager Erik ten Hag, and Ramos would be a superb long-term investment. The attacker is likely to improve further with coaching and experience and he could be a key asset for the Red Devils in the coming seasons.
Meanwhile, the striker is more than just a goalscorer and he picked up 12 assists across all competitions last season. He will add creativity to the side as well. And Rui Costa is of the opinion Manchester United will pay €80 million to land the Portuguese international.
Ramos has a contract with Benfica until the summer of 2026. So the Portuguese outfit are under no pressure to sell him. They will look to recoup as much as possible for their prized young prospect. Benfica have already turned down a €60 million offer for the 22-year-old striker from an unnamed club.
