Portugal's Goncalo Ramos was not someone anyone spoke about a month ago but what a difference a few weeks makes. The young forward lit up the World Cup with his hat trick against Switzerland and that performance has sparked a lot of interest. Following from that 3-goal performance and taking Ronaldo's place leading the line for Portugal, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United have all registered an interest in the Benfica star.

Rui Costa, who is the chief of the Portuguese club Benfica, has now revealed what it will cost for those interested in Ramos to acquire his services in the January transfer window. Now Benfica are a club how aren't shy of selling players for big money, recently they let Darwin Nunez move to Liverpool and you can count many mega deals before that, its fair to say this club knows how to make money.

Once you're being linked with a number of top Premier League clubs, you know your stock is going to skyrocket and since he is on a long-term deal it only makes it worse.

Costa already ruled out a January departure, unless clubs paid Ramos' release clause which according to Correio da Manha stands at €120million (£103 million), which likely means teams may have to wait until the summer.

Where I think he will go for around 60 million, especially if he continues the good form for the rest of this season.
