Man Utd Planning £25m Transfer Swoop For Benfica Striker, Goncalo Ramos
EKO HOT BLOG reports that Manchester United are reportedly ready to make a January move for Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos, who was linked with Newcastle over the summer, and is also being tracked by Bayern Munich.
Ramos, 21, has hit eight goals in 12 games this season, prompting United to make contact with his representatives.

He is valued around £25million by Benfica, which United would not go above — despite the player reportedly having a £100m release clause.
The Portuguese Under-21 star was linked to Newcastle in the last window as Eddie Howe searched for a striker — and he is also being tracked by Bayern Munich.
However, United boss Ten Hag does not have a big transfer pot for January, having gone over budget this summer. But there is still recognition of the urgent need for another forward.
Injuries to Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford have exposed how short they are in that department, with Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, their only recognised and fit striker.
Ramos scored against Liverpool in last season’s Champions League quarter-final second leg at Anfield.
And he began this campaign in spectacular fashion, with a hat-trick against Denmark’s Midtjylland. In the league he has four goals in six appearances, plus two assists.
Ten Hag was backed with £206.7m this summer — United’s biggest-ever spend in a single window.
