Author of a remarkable season under the colors of Atalanta Bergamo last year (32 Serie A matches, 9 goals, 2 assists), Rasmus Højlund has not escaped the radar of the biggest European teams. If Manchester United finally took the piece for the tidy sum of 75 million euros, PSG also tried to interfere in the matter. In vain.
This Saturday, The Athletic reveals that the Ile-de-France club, under the leadership of its president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, had made a first offer of 50 million euros to the DEA, then a second estimated at 60. The key for Højlund: a salary much more attractive than what Manchester United offered him. But according to the media, the 20-year-old Dane kindly rejected the Parisian club’s offer, preferring to join Old Trafford. A failure which subsequently led PSG to turn to Gonçalo Ramos, then Randal Kolo Muani.
