This is one of the revelations of last season. Barely 20 years old, Danish striker Rasmus Hojlund exploded last season with Atalanta. Author of 16 goals and 7 assists in 42 matches last season, he quickly became a coveted striker on the transfer market. With a versatile attacking profile, good back to goal and capable of swallowing up space, Hojlund has won over the biggest European teams such as PSG and Manchester United.
The French capital club had even made an initial offer of 50 million euros to Atalanta to recover its player, according to the French press. An offer deemed insufficient by the Italian club which expects much more. And if the player was flattered by the interest of Paris in this affair, his priority has always been to join the Mancunian club, of which he dreams, as we revealed to you. Well, his dream has never been closer.
Towards an agreement around 65 million plus bonuses
Indeed, according to our information, the player’s entourage has never been so confident and believes that Manchester United is more than ever close to completing the recruitment of its new striker. Both parties are very optimistic. We are talking about a 5-year contract plus an optional year. To afford the Danish international (6 goals in 6 selections), an agreement around 65 million euros should be found (with 10 million bonuses).
Long in search of a striker to support Marcus Rashford, Erik ten Hag therefore holds his future number 9. After having quickly confirmed his talent in Serie A, the young Rasmus Hojlund will therefore now try to tackle the Premier League. He should help a team that has long lacked a real striker to hope to compete with Manchester City and recently Arsenal.
