PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN star Goncalo Ramos is reportedly prepared to leave the club after growing frustrated with his lack of playing time.
The 24-year-old has acted as a super sub and depth option behind the wealth of talented attackers at manager Luis Enrique‘s disposal, including Ballon d’Or winner Ousmane Dembele.
But according to reports from FootParisien.com, the Portuguese could be available this summer for a fee of around £52million.
Ramos is said to want to see out the World Cup before looking for a new club in the summer.
This will be music to the ears of the Manchester United hierarchy, who have been admirers of the striker since his days at Benfica.
Newcastle were also interested in his services in the summer, before they elected to make a move for German big-man Nick Woltemade.

United are not short of striker depth, but the club may take the view that Ramos could provide more in attack than Benjamin Sesko, who has struggled to adapt to life in the Premier League.
The Red Devils have navigated a similar transfer saga before.
They signed defensive midfielder Manuel Ugarte from the French giants in 2024 for a comparable fee of around £50million.
The Uruguayan has since made over 60 appearances in the shirt, and was a key player under Ruben Amorim‘s reign.
But this opportunity comes at a strange time for the club, with the future direction of the squad up in the air due to their current managerial situation.
Michael Carrick is leading the team, and is impressing club figures and fans alike with his performances.
But his deal is explicitly on an interim basis until the end of the season, meaning signings are unlikely until a permanent manager comes through the door and sets out his vision for the team.
Hesitancy on United’s part could open the door to other suitors, especially if he impresses during Portugal‘s World Cup campaign later this year.
