As things stand, the three main strikers Manchester United appear to be pursuing, according to the European media, are Victor Osimhen, Dusan Vlahovic and Gonçalo Ramos.
AS have a lengthy article on the latter, with it said that Real Madrid are also taking a look at the Portuguese forward, currently the star of the show at Benfica.
With a €120m release clause, the Liga Bwin club are well protected, much like they were with Enzo Fernández, and there’s a feeling that will be the amount needed to get him out of there.
AS explain that Manchester United ‘are the one that have shown the most interest’ to date, and that’s because Erik ten Hag ‘has given the go-ahead’ to get him signed.
However, his arrival ‘will depend on who the new owner is’, with the Glazers currently trying to sell the club to the highest bidder.
Down the player’s end, it’s stated Ramos ‘is attracted to playing’ in La Liga, but with many of the clubs there in a tough financial situation, ‘only Real Madrid can face the signing of him’.
While he is ‘well referenced’ there, the problem for him is that it’s well known they are very interested in other players, such as Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland.
They appear to have some sort of long-term plans for the two superstars, and spending upward of €100m for Ramos makes little sense if they are intent on pursuing the duo.
Therefore, Manchester United could end up being free of Real Madrid competition this summer, all depending on what the La Liga giants decide to do.
