After eyeing Harry Kane, MU turned to a Danish striker whose price has just been set at 100 million euros.
Manchester United want an attacking reinforcement for the new season. Several avenues are being explored and the main one would lead to Rasmus Hojlund, the center forward of Atalanta Bergamo.
MU targets one “of the best attackers on the circuit”
The Dane is one of Manchester United’s top targets but the deal is still a long way off. For now, the Lombard club is intransigent regarding the transfer price. He wants a nine-digit number.
Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini has indicated that his management will expect compensation of up to 100 million euros. “I don’t know, honestly I don’t know“, he first told reporters when asked to give an update on his player’s situation.
“The market is unpredictable… I hope for 100 million euros for Atalantahe continued. There are very strong players who struggle to find a place and young confirmed players who attract envy. As a young player, Hojlund is among the best, if not the best”.
Hojlund has only been playing in Serie A for one season. His statistics during the past campaign have not been breathtaking. He scored barely 9 goals in 32 matches played.
