Report: Liverpool Set to Battle Man Utd for PSG Striker
Gonçalo Ramos' PSG Future Uncertain Amid Transfer Interest from Premier League and Saudi Clubs
Portuguese striker linked with Manchester United and Liverpool as PSG weigh up options
Gonçalo Ramos' future at Paris Saint-Germain is far from settled, with the Portuguese forward the subject of growing transfer speculation following a mixed 2024–25 campaign. Despite contributing 18 goals and six assists across 41 appearances, Ramos' performances—particularly during the FIFA Club World Cup—have left both fans and pundits unconvinced.

Ramos, 24, struggled to make a significant impact in key fixtures, and his muted display in Saudi Arabia—where Ousmane Dembélé's absence handed him a golden opportunity—did little to silence the doubters. According to RMC Sport pundit Jérôme Rothen, PSG would be willing to entertain offers upwards of €50 million for the former Benfica striker.
'When he has had the opportunity to play and shine, you are often left a little unsatisfied,' Rothen told Le10Sport. 'It's a big club; if there is a significant offer of more than €50 million, they will let him go.'
United, Liverpool, and others circling
Premier League interest has already surfaced. As reported by journalist Graeme Bailey, Manchester United were offered the chance to sign Ramos earlier this year, with PSG open to negotiation. While no formal approach has been made, the Red Devils are understood to be monitoring the situation.
Liverpool have also been linked. Ramos features in the club's analytics-driven recruitment model, though he is not currently considered a top target. Still, the Reds are known to be assessing forward options under their 'Moneyball'-influenced system—particularly ones with potential resale value and peak-age upside.

European sides and clubs in Saudi Arabia are also believed to have made contact, though no agreement is currently on the table.
PSG stance remains firm—for now
Despite the growing noise, PSG appear to be holding their ground. As per Foot Mercato's Josué Cassé, both the player and the club remain aligned for the time being. Ramos is said to be settled in the French capital and has no immediate desire to move on. With his current contract running until June 2028, the Parisians are under no financial pressure to sell.
That said, much could depend on PSG's summer business—especially in the post-Kylian Mbappé era—as well as Ramos' own desire to lock down a regular starting role ahead of the 2026 World Cup cycle.

Beating Messi's Miami 'harder than it may seem': PSG's Luis Enrique
Paris Saint-Germain's Spanish coach Luis Enrique said it was harder than it seemed to see off Lionel Messi's Inter Miami (FRANCK FIFE) Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique said defeating Lionel Messi and Inter Miami on Sunday was trickier than it seemed despite the French side's 4-0 Club World Cup last 16 triumph. Joao Neves' early strike sent PSG ahead and then they scored three more in a flurry before half-time to take an unassailable lead. Advertisement Former PSG and Barcelona star Messi impressed in the second half as Miami battled well but could not find a way through. "It is difficult to play against players of this calibre, it was difficult, but I think as a team we did an excellent job," Luis Enrique told reporters. "There's a visible difference between the first and second halves... their quality is evident, and I think we deserved the victory. "It was harder than it may seem, after the first half." The Spanish coach said his PSG team, who won the Champions League, Ligue 1 and the French Cup to claim their first ever treble, are in spectacular form and are hoping to triumph in the United States. Advertisement "Clearly, we are experiencing a historic season for our club, we aim to go far in this competition," continued Luis Enrique. "We are in the quarter-finals, with only eight teams remaining. Our goal is to progress as far as possible and to compete for the trophy. But for that, we need to overcome two more knock-out rounds. "The season is very long, as it is for all teams, but the motivation to be competitive is there." PSG winger Ousmane Dembele said he was "glad to see" Messi and his former Barcelona team-mates Luis Suarez, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and Javier Mascherano. "Leo is a unique person, to share a game with him was magnificent, I was a kid watching his magic on the television, so it's unique," said PSG defender Lucas Beraldo. Advertisement - 'Reality' hits - Inter Miami coach Mascherano said he was pleased with his team's performance at the tournament despite their eventual thrashing by PSG. "We achieved the goal we had set for ourselves, we were very aware that we could compete up to a certain level, and today reality has shown that," Mascherano told reporters. "I am very proud of my players, of the work they did in the competition (...) we tried to show in each match what we could do. The gap is what it is, but I am very proud of them." Mascherano said his Argentine compatriot Messi was able to show his quality despite the defeat. Advertisement "I think Leo played a great game, within the options we had. In the second half, we found him much more. In the first half, we couldn't due to Paris's pressure," said the coach. "They slowed their tempo in the second half, and we were able to show what we usually do in MLS (Major League Soccer)." Despite PSG being arguably the best team in the world at the moment, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta was filled with Inter Miami shirts, mostly with eight-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi's number 10 on the back. "PSG is in great form, champions of everything, but people still pay for a ticket to see Leo Messi, even at 38 years old," added Mascherano. rbs/dmc

Star player says YES to Liverpool transfer
But probably the transfer that is of the highest importance is the centre-back position. With Jarell Quansah expected to imminently complete his move to Bayer Leverkusen, Liverpool are left really short in that department. That's why it's important to bring in a replacement for Quansah and it looks like Hughes is already nearing a move for an England international. Advertisement Marc Guehi seems to be the club's first priority and now it seems like the Crystal Palace star has helped Liverpool's cause by saying yes to a potential move to Anfield. According to journalist Nicolo Schira, Guehi has 'given his availability' to join Liverpool and sign a contract until 2030. The report goes onto say that Liverpool are now working on reaching an agreement with Crystal Palace. What that agreement will look like remains to be seen. Anfield Watch understands that Liverpool are looking to agree a £40m deal, which would be an absolute bargain. Guehi has been the star of a really exciting Palace team for some time now. He's their club captain and he is also a regular at international level for England. Advertisement Bringing in a player with that kind of experience to replace Quansah's role in the squad is a huge upgrade. Not to mention, Guehi only turns 25-years-old next month - meaning he is extremely young. And on top of that there's the bonus that ex-Chelsea players always tend to do well at Anfield. From Daniel Sturridge to Mohamed Salah, Guehi might be the next one. He definitely seems keen on the move. Now it's just up to Liverpool to strike an agreement.

Manchester United Are Locked In A Three-Way Battle For This Roma Defender: Should Amorim Move In For Him?
Manchester United Are Locked In A Three-Way Battle For This Roma Defender: Should Amorim Move In For Him? In a recent report, Gazzetta dello Sport (via Sport Witness) stated that Manchester United are locked in a three-way battle for Roma defender Evan N'Dicka. It has been stated that the Red Devils would have to compete with Arsenal and Newcastle United in the race to land the Ivory Coast talent this summer. N'Dicka's Impressive Rise In Italian Football N'Dicka put in a series of impressive displays for the Italian club on the defensive end of the field in the previous campaign. The 25-year-old participated in 54 matches for Roma last season, netting one goal and grabbing two assists in multiple competitions. Advertisement The Ivory Coast international was a rock at the back and deserves credit for making 32 tackles, 46 blocks and 33 interceptions in Serie A football. He was even accurate when distributing possession from inside his half, as evidenced by his pass completion rate of 92.1% in league football (stats via N'Dicka is under contract at the Italian club until the summer of 2028. Thus, Man United would have to make a big offer if they are serious about recruiting him this off-season. PARMA, ITALY – FEBRUARY 16: Evan Ndicka of AS Roma during the Serie A match between Parma and AS Roma at Stadio Ennio Tardini on February 16, 2025 in Parma, Italy. (Photo by) Should Manchester United Boss Ruben Amorim Move In For N'Dicka? N'Dicka is a good tackler of the ball and can time his challenges well to earn possession back for his team inside his half. He doesn't mind putting his foot through the ball when needed and excels at playing his way out from the back. Advertisement Standing at 1.92m, N'Dicka is a strong presence in the air as well. However, he might need some time to adapt to the high intensity of the Premier League if Man United manage to get him on board this summer. We can expect N'Dicka to add more bite and steel to Man United boss Ruben Amorim's defence. He might even help the Mancunian club challenge across all fronts in the coming seasons. At 25, N'Dicka has his peak years ahead of him which makes him a decent choice for the Red Devils to pursue in this transfer period. However, Amorim would have to give him some time to adjust to life in English football. With all things considered, the pros outweigh the cons of signing a centre-back of N'Dicka's quality, so Man United should focus on moving in for him soon.
