Newcastle United are expected to submit an opening bid for Benfica striker and Nottingham Forest target Goncalo Ramos 'in the coming days'.
The 21-year-old has become one of the hottest prospects in Europe and several clubs are chasing his signature this summer. French giants Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly held talks over a possible deal for him to replace Mauro Icardi.
According to Portuguese journalist Pedro Sepulveda, Benfica may be willing to sell if bids above €30 million (£25m) are received despite Ramos' contract including a €120m (£100m) release clause after extending his deal until 2026 last October.

Eddie Howe, who is on the lookout to bolster his attacking options, is understood to have been impressed with Ramos in their friendly game against the Eagles last month. The 21-year-old scored the opening goal in Lisbon in their 3-2 win over the Magpies.
He made 46 appearances for then manager Nelson Verissimo last season, contributing to eight goals and four assists.
