Manchester United Makes €50m Offer for Atalanta Striker Rasmus Hojlund
Manchester United has reportedly made a substantial offer of €50 million (£42 million) plus €10 million (£8.5 million) in add-ons for Atalanta striker Rasmus Hojlund. The 20-year-old Danish international has been identified as the club’s top striker target, and personal terms have already been agreed upon.
However, Atalanta is holding out for a higher fee of over £60 million. Despite this, talks are ongoing, and there is optimism that a deal will be struck between the two clubs. Hojlund had an impressive debut season in Serie A, scoring nine goals in 32 appearances.
Manchester United’s priority is to strengthen their forward options, as they struggled in that area last season with Marcus Rashford being their only reliable goal scorer. Manager Erik ten Hag is eager to add more firepower to the team and has identified Hojlund as the ideal candidate.
The club is also considering other options, such as Eintracht Frankfurt star Randal Kolo Muani and Ajax attacking midfielder Mohammed Kudus. Kudus is reportedly close to agreeing personal terms with Chelsea, so United will need to act swiftly if they want to secure his signature.
United has already made some significant signings this summer, including Mason Mount from Chelsea and Andre Onana from Inter Milan. However, the addition of a prolific striker remains a priority for the club.
Ten Hag has been tight-lipped about United’s transfer targets but did hint that progress is being made in their pursuit of a new striker. He expressed his desire to integrate the new signing into the team as soon as possible, highlighting the importance of adapting to the team’s style of play.
In addition to Hojlund, United is also interested in signing Fiorentina midfielder Sofyan Amrabat, who is valued at £25 million. The club is actively looking to strengthen its midfield options as well.
It is clear that Manchester United is determined to bolster their squad ahead of the upcoming season. The club’s ambition to compete for major honors requires significant investment in quality players, and they are willing to negotiate with Atalanta to secure the services of Hojlund.
As talks continue between the two clubs, fans eagerly await news of a potential deal. United supporters are hopeful that Hojlund’s arrival will provide the team with the attacking prowess they need to challenge for silverware.
