Chelsea are keeping a close watch on Benfica’s Goncalo Ramos as they look to strengthen their attack with a reliable No.9. During the summer, several Premier League clubs attempted to sign the Portugal international, but the Eagles were not satisfied with the offers they received, the highest being around €30m. Ramos was again in demand during the winter transfer window, following his hat-trick in the FIFA World Cup. Benfica refused to negotiate and demanded that interested teams pay the €120m release clause to sign him. The 21-year-old is still a target for the Londoners, who are expected to make an offer at the end of the season. Ramos is having a great season with the Eagles, and more teams may express their interest in him when the campaign is over.
Chelsea are keeping their eyes on one of Portugal’s most promising stars – Gonçalo Ramos of Benfica. The 21-year-old forward was sought-after by several Premier League clubs during the summer transfer window with offers reaching up to €30m, yet the Eagles refused to negotiate and instead demanded that interested teams pay his €120m release clause.
The Blues, however, have not given up their pursuit for the promising No.9 and intend to make an offer at the end of the campaign. This is no surprise given the excellent season Ramos is having with Benfica, with him having scored a hat-trick during the FIFA World Cup in the process.
Once the season comes to a close, more teams may vie for his signature as the race for his talents start anew. Chelsea, however, will be hoping to make the best move for the player in order to strengthen the attack for this upcoming UEFA Champions League campaign.
