Alexander Isak, Liverpool Drama See Newcastle Revisit Interest in PSG's 19 Goal Scorer
Gonçalo Ramos' future at PSG has been uncertain all summer, sparking plenty of transfer speculation around the Portuguese striker. While recent signs suggest he could remain in Paris, one Premier League club is still pushing to land him. Ramos finished the 2024-25 season with 19 goals and six assists in 46 appearances. Whether that's enough to lock down a regular starting spot at PSG remains unclear, but the club is reportedly keen to keep him amid the speculation. Earlier this month, CaughtOffside reported that Ramos' lack of minutes at PSG has caught the attention of several Premier League and Serie A clubs looking to add a proven goal scorer. According to the report, Newcastle United, Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Liverpool are all weighing potential summer moves. Liverpool are said to be eyeing Ramos as a long-term addition, while Manchester United reportedly see him as a backup option if other striker targets don't work out. For now, the Reds are prioritizing Newcastle's Alexander Isak, but if that chase falls through, Ramos could quickly move up their list. Newcastle United rekindles interest in PSG standoutAmid the rumors linking Ramos away from PSG, the Daily Mail's Craig Hope reports that Ramos is back on the agenda for the Magpies, as they continue their search for strikers amid Isak's attempt to force a move to Liverpool. Recently, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano weighed in on Ramos being Plan B for Newcastle United if the pursuit of Benjamin Sesko doesn't go their way. 'As of now, Sesko has not decided yet,' Romano wrote in GIVE ME SPORT's newsletter. 'Newcastle are waiting. Ramos is appreciated but PSG want to keep him, it'd take a huge proposal to try change things.'
