Rasmus Hojlund closes this summer from Manchester United, with Napoli to sign the rush hour on loan after Romelu Lukaku had been seriously injured
Rasmus Hojlund reportedly closes a move to Napoli, with Manchester United to take a huge loss on the rush. Hojlund came to United from Atalanta in 2023 for a reimbursement of approximately £ 72 million.
However, he had difficulty having a lot of impact on Old Trafford, in which he manages only 26 goals in 95 performances in all competitions. United has considerably strengthened their attack this summer and Hojlund was considered surplus by Ruben Amorim.
Hojlund has been left out of the team this season for the first two Premier League matches of United, with people like Matheus Cunha, Benjamin Sesko and Joshua Zirkzee in the pecking order for him.
And a report from Sky Sports Italy claims that Hojlund is getting closer to Napoli on loan with an option to buy that will be mandatory if certain conditions are met. The report states that an agreement has been reached with the player and there are only a few details that still have to be completed “.
The deal is worth a total of € 45 million (£ 39 million), which would represent a huge loss of £ 33 million for the Red Devils. Napoli has been desperate to sign a new striker since Romelu Lukaku has picked up a thigh injury in the preseason, who keeps him out of effect for a few months.
Hojlund will hope that he can find a form in Italy, after he was standing on it during the pre-season tour of United by the US that he wanted to stay and fight for his place in Old Trafford. “I think my plan is very clear and that is for me to keep fighting for my place, whatever happens,” he said.
“I am still very young. I think people sometimes forget that. I am only 22. Of course, not every striker at the age of 22 scores 100 goals (such as Erling Haaland).
“But I learned a lot, I think you can see in my game. I am starting to develop and get even better in the base. Now it is almost for me to grind myself and I have done it very well so far.
'Just focus on continuing that. Competition is great for me. It sharpens me. I am more than ready.
“I feel sharp, so I welcome everything that comes. I think it is good with the competition and it only sharpens the team.”
