Manchester United are willing to shell out £69 million for Benfica striker Goncalo Ramos,

The club’s president, Rui Costa confirmed the development, according to Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manha,

The 22-year-old has attracted the interest of several top clubs after bagging 27 goals and 12 assists last season.

Costa believes United will pay up for the Portugal international after they rejected an offer worth around £52 million from an unidentified club.

United tried to sign Ramos in the January transfer window, but had to settle for Wout Weghorst on loan.

Ramos chalked up 19 league goals that powered Benfica to the Primeira League title last season.

Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, reportedly threatened to quit the national team and return to Turkey.

According to Arise News, Osimhen was left fuming following his altercation with Ademola Lookman during the 4-0 win over Mozambique at the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations on Monday.

Having scored a brace thanks to assists from Lookman, the 27-year-old lashed out at his team-mate for failing to pass to him in the 64th minute.

Osimhen then beckoned on the bench asking to be taken off, before he was replaced by Moses Simon.

At full time, Osimhen stormed out of the stadium and dropped his accreditation card, insisting he was “done” with the national team and wanted to fly back to Turkey.

He was then pacified by senior officials of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF.
