Overview

• The clubs have agreed a season-long loan that turns into a permanent transfer if Napoli qualify for the Champions League, according to multiple reports including The Athletic and the Independent.
• Reported terms put the loan fee at roughly €5–6m with a conditional obligation of about €44m next summer, with outlets citing totals in the low- to mid-€40m range.
• Final approval from Rasmus Hojlund is still required as the forward must agree personal terms and complete formal checks before the move can be sealed.
• Hojlund has been omitted from Ruben Amorim’s last three matchday squads after United’s summer additions of Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.
• Napoli accelerated their search for a centre-forward after confirming Romelu Lukaku’s thigh injury, and some reporting adds that United would retain a 5% sell-on clause.
