Napoli and Man United Agree Hojlund Loan With Champions League Buy Obligation

The deal still needs the striker’s consent after Napoli’s need intensified when Romelu Lukaku suffered a thigh injury.

Overview

  • Reports say the agreement sends Rasmus Hojlund to Napoli on loan with an obligation to buy that activates if the club qualifies for the next Champions League.
  • The package is valued at roughly €44–45 million, combining the loan fee with the future payment should the clause trigger.
  • Completion depends on Hojlund’s approval and personal terms, with the forward left out of Ruben Amorim’s last three Manchester United squads.
  • Napoli’s push follows the club’s confirmation that Romelu Lukaku faces about three to four months out with a thigh injury, and Italian reports describe Hojlund as Antonio Conte’s preferred replacement.
  • In parallel, negotiations to re-sign Eljif Elmas from RB Leipzig are advancing and are described as close to completion pending formal sign-off.
