Ramos has notched 14 goals and six assists in 21 games across all competitions for Benfica this term. He consolidated his remarkable rise in Lisbon by scoring a hat-trick on his first World Cup start, as he replaced Cristiano Ronaldo in the starting XI in Portugal's 6-1 win over Switzerland.
Jacobs also revealed that Ramos almost joined PSG over the summer, and now has a release clause of €120 million.
He tweeted: "Portugal cruised into the World Cup quarter-finals after a scintillating 6-1 win over Switzerland. 21-year-old Gonçalo Ramos scored the World Cup's first hat-trick and his 18th goal for club and country this season.
"Ramos has a release clause of €120m and was drawing interest long before the World Cup. He almost joined PSG over the summer. Benfica wanted close to €45m & that price will be higher now. Several EPL clubs have looked, including Man United, Newcastle, Leeds, Wolves, Southampton and Forest."
Tyler Adams
Leeds will try to keep hold of Tyler Adams amid growing speculation surrounding his future at Elland Road. The 23-year-old was one of the standout players at the World Cup, before USA's 3-1 defeat against the Netherlands in the Round of 16 last week.
Adams was the youngest captain at the tournament and has reportedly attracted interest from Manchester United, Inter Milan and Fiorentina.
However, football transfer guru Fabrizio Romano has claimed that there have been no talks over Inter attempting to sign Adams, while there was no mention of Man United.
Romano tweeted: "Inter Milan are not in talks to sign Tyler Adams as things stand. I’m sure Leeds will try to keep him, they love Tyler as player but also I’m told they love his attitude in the dressing room.
“It always depends on the proposals, we will see; too early to say. But I think he’s very good player with a top future.”
Adams has impressed since his transfer from RB Leipzig to Leeds in the summer. The midfielder has featured 13 times for the Whites in the Premier League and has formed a strong partnership with Marc Roca.
Leeds paid in the region of £20 million for Adams, who penned a five-year deal, which means he's contracted to the club until the summer of 2027.
