Rasmus Hojlund Joins Napoli on Season-Long Loan from Manchester United

Rasmus Hojlund has moved on loan from Manchester United to Napoli for the 2025 season, with an option to buy contingent on Napoli qualifying for the Champions League, potentially generating around £38 million for United. Despite a promising start at United with 16 goals in his first season, he struggled for consistency and found himself sidelined in favor of new striker Benjamin Sesko and others, leading to his eventual departure. Demonstrating commitment to his new club, Hojlund swiftly returned from international duty with Denmark to train with Napoli under Antonio Conte, signaling his determination to succeed. He scored in Denmark's recent 3-0 win over Greece and immediately traveled 800 kilometers to join Napoli's training, preparing for his Serie A debut against Fiorentina and a Champions League match against Manchester City. Hojlund expressed eagerness to prove himself at Napoli, emphasizing hard work and dedication to help the team. Napoli's manager Conte has indicated that while Lorenzo Lucca may start against Fiorentina, Hojlund will be ready to contribute when called upon.
