Manchester United
October 2025
Loan includes a €44m obligation in June 2026 if Napoli reach UCL; both clubs now exploring a January conversion after Højlund’s four goals in six games. United, pivoting post-Sesko pursuit, are ready to move on; Napoli want certainty to lock a Conte-system striker amid title ambitions. Pricing likely mirrors the clause with minor adjustments (fee phasing, achievable add-ons). FFP cash-flow and amortisation timing drive United’s openness to early sale, while Napoli balance winter liquidity with sporting upside. Player fit under Conte—runs across the line, pressing triggers, near-post attacking—supports permanence if medical and image-rights formalities clear promptly.
