Bruno Fernandes urges Man United to sign 100m-rated Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos
Bruno Fernandes, midfielder for Manchester United, has expressed his belief that Goncalo Ramos from Benfica has the potential to become one of the best strikers in world football. Fernandes has urged his club to sign the 21-year-old Portuguese striker, who has had a breakout season with impressive performances for Benfica and the Portuguese national team.
Ramos has been in fine form, netting 26 goals in 46 appearances across all competitions for Benfica. He also made his mark on the international stage by scoring a hat-trick when he replaced Cristiano Ronaldo in Portugal's World Cup last-16 match against Switzerland. His performances have caught the attention of several top clubs, including Manchester United.
Manager Erik ten Hag is keen on bolstering the attacking options at Manchester United and has identified a striker as a top priority for the upcoming summer transfer window. The club has been linked with high-profile targets such as Tottenham's Harry Kane and Napoli's Victor Osimhen, along with Ramos.
Fernandes, speaking to A Bola, praised his compatriot and expressed his belief that Ramos possesses all the qualities needed to excel in the Premier League. He described Ramos as intense, strong, and a formidable presence in the penalty area. Fernandes was impressed by Ramos' performances for the national team and believes that if he continues to work hard, he can become one of the world's best strikers.
While Manchester United is considering several options, including Kane, the club is also pursuing alternatives due to the anticipated difficulty of negotiating with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy. Osimhen from Napoli, Rasmus Hojlund from Atalanta, Randal Kolo Muani from Eintracht Frankfurt, and Ramos are among the other striker targets being considered by United.
The Manchester Evening News reports that Ten Hag is particularly keen on signing Kane and is "obsessed" with the idea. However, Levy's reputation for being a tough negotiator has led United to explore other options. It is noted that Levy's former colleague jokingly stated that United would have to "kill him" in order to secure Kane's services.
As Manchester United evaluates their striker options, the club is aware of the need to bring in a clinical and prolific forward to bolster their attacking prowess. While Ramos is one of the targets on their shortlist, negotiations and competition from other clubs will play a significant role in determining their final signing
