Overview

• Italian reports say Napoli have opened talks with Manchester United and Hojlund’s camp, aiming for a turning point by Monday.
• Hojlund has given a positive response to Napoli’s project after direct conversations with club officials and his father, according to Corriere dello Sport.
• Manchester United prefer a permanent sale or a loan with an obligation to buy rather than a simple loan, as reported.
• Numbers under discussion reportedly include an obligation of about £34m plus roughly £4m in loan fees, with the salary package still unsettled.
• The push comes as United look to raise funds after a summer spend exceeding £200m, with sales viewed as necessary to meet financial rules.
