Newcastle United are reportedly weighing up a sensational move for Paris Saint-Germain striker Gonçalo Ramos as speculation grows over Alexander Isak's future at St James' Park.
The Magpies could be forced into the transfer market this summer if Isak departs, with Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur both showing interest in the Swedish international.
Isak's Impressive Form Sparks Interest
Isak has been in scintillating form this season, netting 21 Premier League goals and establishing himself as one of the division's most lethal forwards. His performances haven't gone unnoticed, with several top clubs monitoring his situation.
Newcastle's financial constraints mean they may need to consider selling one of their prized assets to fund squad reinforcements, and Isak could command a fee in excess of £100 million.
Ramos Emerges as Prime Target
Portuguese international Ramos has struggled for regular starts since his move to PSG last summer, despite showing flashes of his potential. The 22-year-old could be available for a cut-price deal as the French champions look to balance their books.
Newcastle's recruitment team have reportedly identified Ramos as an ideal replacement should Isak leave, with the young striker's physicality and finishing ability seen as perfectly suited to the Premier League.
Summer of Change at St James' Park
With Financial Fair Play considerations limiting their spending power, Newcastle may need to be creative in the transfer market. The potential sale of Isak could provide manager Eddie Howe with significant funds to reshape his squad.
Ramos wouldn't be the only attacking option under consideration, with Chelsea's Armando Broja also reportedly on Newcastle's radar as they prepare for all eventualities in what promises to be a pivotal summer for the club.
