Jorge Mendes is looking to cash in on Goncalo Ramos’ stunning performance in Portugal’s win over Switzerland.
Ramos scored a hat-trick in the 6-1 win on Tuesday after manager Fernando Santos made the contentious call to drop captain Cristiano Ronaldo to the bench. The 21-year-old showed remarkable composure in front of goal, blasting in from a tight angle, getting on the end of a near-post cross and chipping the goalkeeper one-on-one.
While the vast majority of the discussion since that match has focused on Ronaldo, after he didn’t start a tournament match for Portugal for the first time since 2008, there has also been increased interest in Ramos. The young Benfica striker was the subject of some transfer interest - including from Premier League clubs over the summer – and that is only likely to continue now.
