Newcastle United is moving cautiously in the transfer market considering the possibility of losing Alexander Isak in the coming weeks. The Swedish forward has sparked the interest of several European giants, and although nothing is finalized, the St. James’ Park board is already exploring alternatives.

In this scenario, one name stands out: Gonçalo Ramos, the current forward for Paris Saint-Germain. The Portuguese player, only 24 years old, is going through a tough period at Parc des Princes.

Under Luis Enrique's command, he has not managed to establish himself as an undisputed starter, fueling rumors of a possible change of scenery. PSG, which invested around 65 million euros to bring him from Benfica in 2023, did not initially plan for his departure, but the lack of prominence could pave the way for a sale or loan.

According to the newspaper Sport, Ramos is seen in England as an ideal fit for the Premier League. His ability to play with his back to goal, his power in the box, and his instinct for scoring make him a highly attractive striker for Newcastle's project. Eddie Howe, the Newcastle coach, has asked the sports management for a reliable replacement in case Isak leaves, and Ramos' name is currently the frontrunner.

Gonçalo Ramos, Newcastle's target to replace Isak

The Portuguese forward is not unknown to fans. He shone with Benfica in the 2022/23 season, and his hat-trick against Switzerland at the Qatar World Cup put him on the international stage. However, his arrival at PSG coincided with a transitional period at the Parisian club, with Messi and Neymar leaving and Kylian Mbappé emerging as the clear leader. This situation has reduced his playing time and slowed down some of his progress.

Acquiring Ramos' services would not only cover a possible Isak departure for Newcastle United but also add internal competition to a squad aiming to compete at the top of the table. The English club, backed by the investment of its powerful Saudi ownership, has the financial muscle to carry out significant operations, although negotiations won't be easy. PSG is reluctant to let go of a player they trust in the long term but also needs to balance the books and free up space in their forward line.

Gonçalo Ramos could be Isak's replacement at Newcastle

The Premier League transfer market has become an increasingly attractive stage for internationally renowned players. Ramos might welcome a move to England, where he would have more playing time in a league that enhances his physical and offensive qualities. In Newcastle, he would find a club on the rise, with an ambitious project and the opportunity to compete in European competitions.

The next few weeks are likely to be crucial. If Isak leaves, Newcastle will speed up negotiations with PSG to try to secure Ramos. Otherwise, the operation could be postponed until summer. One thing is certain: Gonçalo Ramos' name is already making noise in the offices of St. James’ Park, and Newcastle fans dream of seeing the Portuguese attacker in black and white very soon.
