Manchester United are today back to being linked to Benfica striker Gonçalo Ramos.
It’s been a while since the Red Devils were said to be in a strong pursuit for the striker, who had impressive minutes in the World Cup when replacing Cristiano Ronaldo.
It turns out that he continues doing great for Benfica, with a brace scored against Sporting in the Lisbon Derby at the weekend, and now has 17 goals and seven assists for the Eagles this season.
Newspaper O Jogo today features a story about his recent success, and when speaking about a potential contract renewal, Manchester United’s interest is mentioned.
It’s claimed that the player has ‘aroused more and more greed’ from clubs, so Benfica are willing to give him a pay raise and set a new expiry date, since his current deal goes until 2025.
O Jogo mentions the likes of Paris Saint Germain, Newcastle United and Southampton, but gives special attention to Manchester United, saying Erik ten Hag is an ‘appreciator’ of the player.
Ramos is protected by a €120m release clause, and that’s expected to be his price tag while he continues doing well.
