Goncalo Ramos offered to West Ham but Manchester United reportedly could pay £69m for him
Record claim that Man United are able to meet Benfica’s demands for the 22-year-old forward.
And that’s a huge blow for the Hammers. Ramos is my number one striker choice this summer.
He bagged 27 goals and 12 assists in 47 games for Benfica this season just gone (Transfermarkt).
The Portuguese starlet has absolutely everything needed to succeed in the modern game, and more importantly, the ferociously paced Premier League, what with its physical nature.
Ramos is quick along the ground, powerful, strong in the air and is a superb finisher, as well as being a willing runner.
The Sun have described the Benfica hitman as a ‘phenomenal’ striker, and they’re bang on money – he really is an elite player.
If Manchester United sign Goncalo Ramos, they will be getting a serious player. And it will be a case of what might have been for West Ham.
