Napoli, Man United Reach Verbal Deal on Hojlund Loan With Obligation to Buy Worth €45m

The push gathered pace after reports that Romelu Lukaku’s thigh injury left Napoli short at centre-forward.

Overview

  • Reports in Italy say the agreement covers a season-long loan for Rasmus Hojlund with a compulsory purchase that brings the total outlay to about €45m.
  • Gianluca Di Marzio reports Hojlund could travel to Italy as early as Friday if personal terms are finalised.
  • Manchester Evening News previously reported that United insisted on an obligation to buy after an initial proposal lacked the clause.
  • Hojlund has not featured for Manchester United for several weeks as Benjamin Sesko has taken his matchday place.
  • The Denmark international publicly backed his teammates by reposting a club lineup on Instagram with a supportive message.
