Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur and Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United have been offered the chance to sign Goncalo Ramos.

The Sun have reported that Portuguese super-agent Jorge Mendes has offered Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos to Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Newcastle United.

Aston Villa and West Ham United have also been approached.

Benfica will sell Ramos for £80 million, according to the report.

The Sun have claimed that while Manchester United are in the market for a new striker, Spurs could need a frontman should Harry Kane leave in the summer transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur or Manchester United for Goncalo Ramos?

In our view, Manchester United are more likely than Tottenham Hotspur to sign Goncalo Ramos from Benfica in the summer transfer window.

Erik ten Hag’s side are in need of a striker, and Ramos does fit the bill.

Now, of course, Spurs could be on the hunt for a number 9 should Kane leave, but we do not think that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy would spend as much as £80 million on a 21-year-old striker, especially one who does not have Premier League experience.

The Portugal international striker made 30 appearances in the Portuguese league last season.

The youngster scored 19 goals and gave two assists in those games.

Ramos scored three goals and provided one assist in 10 UEFA Champions League matches for Benfica last campaign.

At the 2022 Qatar World Cup finals, Ramos scored three goals and gave one assist in four appearances.
