Chelsea and Newcastle Lead Race for PSG Striker Goncalo Ramos
Chelsea and Newcastle United are among the Premier League clubs who have made contact over a potential move for Paris Saint-Germain striker Goncalo Ramos, according to reports. The 24-year-old Portugal international is expected to seek a transfer this summer after a season of limited opportunities with the French champions.
Sources indicate that both Chelsea and Newcastle have registered their interest in the forward, with the player's representatives having already held preliminary discussions. Ramos, who joined PSG from Benfica for a reported €80 million in 2023, has struggled to secure a consistent starting role in Paris. This season, he has been limited to just 10 league starts, scoring five goals.
Ramos is understood to be open to a move to the Premier League, with a desire for more regular first-team football ahead of a crucial stage in his career. The 24-year-old's situation is being monitored by several top European clubs, but a move to England is considered a strong possibility, with Chelsea and Newcastle long-term admirers. The Blues are expected to be in the market for a forward this summer, while Newcastle’s need for a reliable goalscorer is a well-documented priority.
Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked with the player in the past, but it is Chelsea and Newcastle who have made the most concrete initial enquiries, according to reports. PSG are believed to be open to a sale, with the club's sporting director, Luis Campos, looking to reshape the forward line. The French champions are reportedly willing to sanction a deal for a fee in the region of £40 million, a significant drop from the £69.9 million they paid for him two years ago.
Ramos, who has 28 caps for Portugal, has scored 16 goals in 64 appearances for PSG across all competitions. His potential arrival would be a major statement for either Premier League club as they look to strengthen their attacking options for the new season.
