Manchester United are set to monitor the performance of Goncalo Ramos during Benfica’s league clash against Porto on Friday evening, according to Record (page 10).
The 21-year-old is regarded as one of the best young strikers in European football. He has been in stunning form for Benfica this season with 25 goals and 10 assist from 37 games.
It is now reported that the Portuguese is highly appreciated by the Red Devils and they will be tracking him during the upcoming Primeira Liga meeting between Benfica and Porto.
Meanwhile, United have reportedly failed with attempts to negotiate an early deal with Benfica and they may have to wait until the end of the season to re-open talks.
Ramos has been exceptional for Benfica after the departure of Darwin Nunez last summer. He has managed a stunning 35 goal contributions over the current campaign.
He has also caught the eye with his mobility, hold-up play as well as the eagerness to press defenders in the final third. These are attributes that manager Erik ten Hag prefers.
In our view, Ramos would be a fantastic acquisition as he could be a leading striker for the next decade.
The Portuguese is already a top-class centre-forward and could develop into a world-class performer in the coming seasons. Hence, United must look to secure his services.
United have tried to gain the upper hand by contacting his agent Jorge Mendes but it won’t be straightforward. Benfica are set to hold out for his €120 million release clause.
Chelsea and Real Madrid are among clubs that could compete for the striker’s signature.
