Napoli Open Talks for United Outcast Rasmus Hojlund

Rasmus Hojlund (Manchester United)
August 2025

Napoli initiated talks with Rasmus Hojlund’s camp to replace injured Romelu Lukaku. The Danish striker, sidelined at United since pre-season, seeks guarantees of a permanent stay rather than a loan. United are considering loan terms with a buy option in the €35–40m range. United’s purchase of Sesko and Amorim’s exclusion of Hojlund created an exit path. Napoli view him as a long-term fix, though AC Milan also circle. Negotiations continue as United remain open to a structured deal that offloads their surplus striker this summer.
