Napoli Set to Secure Rasmus Hojlund on Permanent €44M Transfer Amid Man Utd’s Firm Stance

Sport news

Napoli is reportedly poised to make Rasmus Hojlund’s loan move from Manchester United permanent for a fee of €44 million. Despite potential attempts from the Italian club to negotiate a lower price, the Red Devils are reportedly unwilling to reduce the agreed-upon transfer valuation for the Danish striker.

Hojlund initially joined the Partenopei last summer on a loan agreement that included an obligation to buy. This obligation is contingent on Napoli securing qualification for the Champions League in the current season.

With Napoli currently holding third place in the Serie A standings, maintaining a comfortable five-point lead over fifth-placed Roma, achieving Champions League qualification appears highly probable. This strong position further reinforces Manchester United’s reluctance to offer any discount on the €44 million fee.

Throughout the current season, Rasmus Hojlund has demonstrated his attacking prowess, contributing 13 goals and providing four assists across 35 appearances in all competitions for Napoli.
