Newcastle United have been told the door is still ajar when it comes to Goncalo Ramos of Benfica - despite the player insisting he was focused on life with the Portuguese giants.
Ramos, still just 21, does have ambitions to one day play in the Premier League but offered the Press a sensible answer when asked about his future over the weekend. As reported yesterday on Chronicle Live, Benfica are holding on for a deal worth around £35million.
Given Ramos' age he is deemed as a player that has the type of profile Eddie Howe is looking for in that he can compete for a first-team place alongside more senior stars like Callum Wilson. Ramos' wages would also fit into United's salary structure.
