Serie A Giants Near £35m Transfer Talks for Man United Striker Hojlund

Manchester United is preparing to move on from striker Rasmus Hojlund, who has struggled to replicate his initial impact after a £67.2 million signing from Atalanta in 2023. Despite scoring 16 goals in his first season, his output has declined to four goals last season, and the arrival of Benjamin Sesko has further limited his opportunities at Old Trafford. Serie A clubs AC Milan and Napoli have shown strong interest, with Milan proposing a loan with an obligation to buy and Napoli preparing a contract offer amid injury issues in their squad. United is open to either a permanent sale or a loan deal with an obligation to buy, with their preferred deal involving a guaranteed future exit for Hojlund. The striker himself appears inclined toward a permanent transfer to focus on rebuilding his career, especially given United's absence from European competitions. Talks are ongoing, with Milan and Napoli competing for his signature as United looks to balance squad depth and discipline under Ruben Amorim.
