Manchester United are plotting a move for Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos this summer, according to The Mirror.
The Portuguese giants are said to value the 21-year-old at nearly £100million, with talks set to take place with the Red Devils over a potential transfer.
Erik ten Hag is said to be keen on adding future stars to his squad and has marked the talisman as a talented prospect and a long-term investment.
Ramos is thriving in Lisbon this season, scoring 17 league goals and helping Benfica reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League before eventually being knocked out by Inter Milan.
The seven-cap international made his Portugal debut in Qatar and took centre stage when he scored a hat-trick against Switzerland after replacing Cristiano Ronaldo in the starting XI.
Ramos is currently enduring his longest spell of the 2022-23 campaign without scoring (five games), having previously not gone more than three matches without a goal for the league leaders.
But with two weeks to go in the current campaign, he looks set to become a domestic champion with the Eagles which may prompt United into bidding for the Olhao native in the coming months.
