Goncalo Ramos of Benfica is one of the strikers being linked to a move to Old Trafford this summer as Manchester United prioritizes the hunt for a top-tier center-forward.
The Reds would have to fork over three times as much money as they did to wrest Goncalo Ramos from Benfica last summer.
Since Darwin Nunez's move to Liverpool, the Portuguese striker has been a standout performer for the Eagles, scoring the overwhelming bulk of their goals. Goncalo Ramos has contributed to 34 goals overall this season, 24 of which have been goals, across all competitions for Benfica.
Benfica won't sell Ramos except his transfer release clause (€120m) is met, claims the Portuguese daily Jornal de Noticias.
Newcastle has also been mentioned as a potential destination for the 21-year-old, but there is no way that they could defeat United in a bidding war for his services.
The Portuguese reportedly had an asking price of only €40 million at the beginning of the season, but now that he is a star player, they are reportedly demanding much more as some of the biggest teams in Europe are rumored to be interested.
In the end, it will depend on how much Ramos appeals to Erik ten Hag compared to players like Napoli's Victor Osimhen or Tottenham's Harry Kane, for example. Before choosing which player should be given priority, United will consider all the circumstances.
Rasmus Hojlund, a star striker for Atalanta, has also been connected to a move to United.
