The Reds are determined to bolster their attacking options and ease the goalscoring burden on star winger Mohamed Salah.

Salah delivered a stellar 2024/25 Premier League season, racking up 29 goals and 18 assists from his wide-right position. However, manager Arne Slot and sporting director Richard Hughes are eager to add a central marksman to fire Liverpool to even greater heights next campaign.

The Reds have struggled for consistency up front, with Diogo Jota netting six goals in 28 Premier League appearances and Darwin Nunez managing five in 30, though only eight of those were starts. Other names linked with Liverpool include Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Ekitike, RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, and Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez, but Ramos has now emerged as a serious contender.

Anfield Watch reported that Liverpool "are also weighing up a potential move" for the 23-year-old Portugal international. Sources suggest Ramos fits the "Moneyball" mold, a value-for-money option, having been underutilized at PSG. The Ligue 1 champions are believed to be open to selling, as they seek an attacker better suited to their style, with Ramos potentially available for a fee close to the 65 million euros PSG paid Benfica in 2022.

"Goncalo Ramos is by no means top of the club's wishlist, but he's under consideration," Anfield Watch noted, adding that former recruitment figure Julian Ward favored the striker in the summer of 2022, though then-manager Jurgen Klopp pushed for Nunez instead.

The Reds are closing in on a busy transfer window, with Bayer Leverkusen's Jeremie Frimpong and Florian Wirtz nearing moves to Anfield, while Bournemouth's left-back Milos Kerkez has agreed personal terms. A new striker could be Liverpool's fourth key signing as they reshape their squad for the challenges ahead.

However, former Arsenal star Paul Merson has urged Liverpool to stick with Nunez. Speaking to Sky Sports, Merson said, "I know people have a go at Nunez, but if I was the manager of a football club, I'd be buying Nunez this summer. He gives you something from the front, he defends."

Merson added, "I think he's one of them, when he's not there, they will miss him immensely. He comes on, I know he misses big chances, but it's the way he works for the team. He's a team player. He leads from the front, which is the most important thing in football in my opinion. I think he will get a club."

Recent updates from X highlight the buzz around Ramos. Anfield Edition posted, "Liverpool add Goncalo Ramos to their shortlist as they look for a value for money attacker in an overpriced market," echoing sentiments from journalist Sam McGuire. Meanwhile, PSG have yet to comment officially, but the club's silence suggests they are open to negotiations as they reshape their attack.

As Liverpool prepare for a transformative summer, the pursuit of Ramos signals their ambition to fire on all cylinders next season. Will the Portuguese striker be the key to unlocking their full potential? Only time will tell.
