Newcastle United are preparing to launch a club record €80 million bid for Manchester United and Real Madrid target Goncalo Ramos.
Ramos, who was one of the discovered talents of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, is one of the hottest prospects in European football at the moment.
The young striker scored 27 goals and provided 12 assists overall in 47 matches across competitions for Benfica during the 2022–23 season.
Manchester United have long been linked with a move for Ramos. Apart from the Red Devils, Real Madrid have also been touted as a potential suitor for the Portugal international.He is one of the players on Los Blancos’ radar to become Karim Benzema’s long-term replacement.
However, Ramos is not a priority signing for the Madrid giants.Newcastle, though, have made Ramos one of their primary targets.
Eddie Howe’s team is back in the UEFA Champions League this season. Hence, they are looking to build a solid squad to further improve during the 2023–24 season.
Despite having Alexander Isak in their ranks, the Magpies are interested in Ramos. They are even willing to table a club record bid of €80 million for the promising 22-year-old striker.
