Manchester United are reportedly demanding €60 million to part ways with Rasmus Hojlund this summer, as Napoli express interest in the Danish striker.
Since his high-profile move from Atalanta in 2023, Hojlund has struggled to make an impact at Old Trafford, making a potential transfer this summer a logical move. The 22-year-old showed promise during his time in Serie A, which has seemingly caught the attention of Napoli. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian club has inquired about Hojlund’s availability, with United setting a €60 million price tag.
However, it remains uncertain whether any club will meet this valuation, given Hojlund’s modest record of 24 goals in 82 appearances for United.
Manchester United’s Need for a Striking Overhaul
It’s evident that Manchester United’s attack is in need of significant improvement, with the team often relying on midfielder Bruno Fernandes to deliver goals. While Hojlund is still young and has room to develop, United cannot afford to wait indefinitely for him to fulfill his potential.
If the club can secure €60 million from Hojlund’s sale, it could provide crucial funds to invest in a proven striker. One potential target is Lille’s Jonathan David, who has been linked with a move to Old Trafford by Le 10 Sport. Additionally, United could explore a deal for Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, who will return to the Serie A side after his loan spell at Galatasaray.
With changes needed up front, United’s summer transfer strategy will be pivotal in addressing their attacking woes.
