Hojlund Arrives for Napoli Medicals as Loan-to-Buy Deal Nears Completion

Napoli is replacing the injured Romelu Lukaku with a move structured to convert to a permanent transfer on Champions League qualification.

Overview

  • Rasmus Hojlund is undergoing medical checks at Villa Stuart in Rome before signing with Napoli, with reports describing a contract through 2030 and an option for an additional year.
  • Multiple outlets say the agreement with Manchester United is a loan that becomes an obligation to buy if Napoli qualify for next season’s Champions League.
  • Reported financial terms vary across sources, including a €5 million loan plus €40 million purchase clause versus a €50 million total fee with a 5% sell-on for United.
  • Hojlund is expected to join up after Denmark duty next week, with local reporting suggesting availability for Antonio Conte around 9–10 September and a potential Serie A bow later that week.
  • Napoli have also added Eljif Elmas on loan from RB Leipzig with a reported €2 million fee and a €16 million option to buy, as Roma close a loan for Kostas Tsimikas and Juventus explore a loan for Kolo Muani.
