Newcastle United have been given a timeline on when Goncalo Ramos could be available for a transfer from Benfica.
The Magpies are interested in the striker but have been told to bid north of £35million for his services. But even if they do meet Benfica's demands it is now understood that the Portuguese giants want to keep hold of the 21-year-old until after their Champions League qualifier against Dynamo Kiev.
The first leg of the clash takes place on August 17 with the game being played in Poland due to the Russia-Ukraine war before the second leg takes place in Lisbon a week later.
