PSG have reportedly offered their 24-year-old striker to Tottenham.
Paris Saint-Germain striker Goncalo Ramos has been offered to Tottenham Hotspur ahead of the summer transfer window, according to Tottenham Transfer News on X, with the Portuguese international emerging as a potential striking option as De Zerbi’s recruitment team continues to plan for next season.
The approach is significant given the context of Tottenham’s attacking situation. Dominic Solanke is sidelined with a grade-two hamstring injury and faces a race to be fit for the final day, while Randal Kolo Muani’s permanent signing remains uncertain given his inconsistent performances throughout the loan spell. With the striker position one of the most pressing areas requiring attention this summer, the availability of a player of Ramos’ calibre and international pedigree represents a potentially attractive proposition.
Ramos, 24, has established himself as one of European football’s most highly rated young forwards over the past two seasons. His emergence at Benfica, capped by a stunning hat-trick off the bench against Switzerland at the 2022 World Cup, announced him to a global audience before his move to PSG. At the Parc des Princes he has operated in a deeply competitive attacking environment, and regular first-team minutes have not always been guaranteed, a circumstance that could make a move to a club offering him a central and guaranteed role an attractive proposition. He is on 14 G/A this season (all competitions), and been quite underwhelming in Ligue 1 (7 G/A).
Goncalo Ramos would suit De Zerbi’s system
The profile fits what De Zerbi has described as his ideal striker. Intelligent movement, composure in the final third and a willingness to work for the team rather than simply occupy the penalty area are qualities Ramos possesses and the Italian demands from his number nine.
The caveat, as always, is Tottenham’s current situation. A club negotiating from the relegation zone, with its Premier League status unconfirmed, faces an inherent disadvantage in any transfer conversation involving a Champions League finalist’s striker. Whether Ramos would seriously entertain a move to a club whose division for next season remains undecided is a question only the player and his representatives can answer.
If survival is secured on Tuesday at Stamford Bridge or on the final day, however, the conversation changes entirely. A confirmed Premier League club with De Zerbi’s five-year project and the Lewis family’s promised investment would represent a considerably more compelling destination. The offer has been made. The response depends largely on what happens in the next week.
