Manchester United’s search for a striker has prompted other clubs to contact the club over a potential deal.
Ineos clinched the earliest summer transfer deal in the post-Sir Alex Ferguson era at Manchester United with a confirmed deal for Matheus Cunha.
Cunha will spark United’s below-par attack, but his impact will only go so far. The Red Devils must sign a new centre-forward.
United’s need for a centre-forward is no secret. And this has led to a number of names being linked to the club. One of these is Goncalo Ramos.
Manchester United offered Goncalo Ramos
Manchester United have been offered an opportunity to sign Portuguese forward Goncalo Ramos, United In Focus understands, via transfer insider Graeme Bailey.
PSG signed Ramos in 2023 on a season long-loan that became permanent in 2024. They paid £55 million, a fee that could climb to £65 million with add-ons.
Ramos has failed to secure a regular starting berth for PSG over the past season, mainly contributing as a substitute for the Champions League winners. He played the last six minutes in the final against Inter Milan.
PSG have told Ramos’ representatives that the striker can leave the club this summer, and they have been talking to clubs around Europe and in the Saudi Pro League.
Manchester United are one of the clubs alerted to Ramos’ situation. There is some interest in the Portuguese striker from Old Trafford, they appreciate the player but terms demanded by PSG would be key.
It is believed they would want £50 million at least for Ramos, but there is a deal to be negotiated.
Bailey explains: “I am told that Manchester United were a club that Ramos was very interested in joining previously, before PSG entered the race.
“PSG have already told him he can leave this summer, and he knows he is not a key part of the squad. His people are talking to a number of clubs and one of them is United.
“Could Ramos become an option for United? I am told he is one to keep an eye on. The only problem is that he would not be that cheap, but we know United will still pay for the right player.”
Goncalo Ramos numbers in 2024/25
Goncalo started only 12 Ligue 1 games this past season, with a further 10 appearances coming from the bench. He scored 10 goals in these appearances, boosted by a late season hat-trick against Montpellier.
Ramos started only one Champions League game, featuring as a substitute 11 times. He scored three goals
