Manchester United are reportedly interested in signing Goncalo Ramos, the young Portuguese striker who has impressed for Benfica.
Ramos, 21, has scored 17 goals for Benfica this season which has helped them stay on top of the Portuguese Primeira Liga and are on the verge of winning it with three matches to go.
Ramos broke onto the international scene and caught the eye of top European clubs during the World Cup in Qatar last year, especially after scoring a hat-trick against Switzerland.
One of the most promising young talents in Europe, Ramos’ release clause in his contract with Benfica is €120 million and Manchester United will be ready to trigger it in the summer transfer window, according to The Mirror.
According to reports in Portugal, Manchester United have been scouting Ramos for several months as The Red Devils keep searching for a proper striker to bang in goals come next season. Ramos fits the profile of a young, dynamic and versatile forward who can play across the front line.
However, Manchester United are not the only club interested in Ramos. Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus are also said to be keeping tabs on him and could provide stiff competition for his signature.
Benfica are keen to keep Ramos at the club as his current contract expires in June 2026 but the youngster has not yet decided on his future and will weigh up his options carefully before making a decision.
