I understand what you're saying but:
1. (I'm sure most of us would agree) Striker is our biggest priority this summer so should demand the most attention. We simply can't have yet more seasons having to lean on the talented but unreliable Martial or the disgraced Greenwood.
2. I can't see Benfica accepting less than £80m for Ramos after the season he is having especially after they have just fleeced Chelsea for £100m+ . They aren't mugs in the transfer market and usually get a good fee. Leao is interesting as he is running into the last year of his contract. However if he signs a new deal then there's no way he'd come in at under £80m and even if he doesn't I still think they'll be asking for a figure in that ball park.
3. How much do you think Joao Pedro will cost? He has a contact until 2028. Transfermarkt has his value estimated at €24m. Because of the length of the contract I think Watford would ask for anywhere between £30-45m.
1. True, striker is our biggest priority but we also need to be smart about it
2. Benfica likely will as they still haven't upgraded Ramos's contract which he is apparently pissed about. They apparently have a younger prospect who they feel will be even better than Ramos. I definitely feel they would consider a deal of 80m for Ramos a good fee. Leao's contract talks have been going on for ages and the longer it goes on, the more you think Milan will put him on the market soon to get a fee if no agreement is reached.
3. Watford will be stuck in the Championship next season with no PL parachute payments to help them. I think a deal of 30-35 for Joao Pedro is do-able
