In a bid to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season, Premier League giants Manchester United have made a move for Denmark forward Rasmus Hojlund during this summer transfer window. However, their initial bid of €35 million has been turned down by Serie A side Atalanta.
According to reports from Corriere dello Sport via Manchestereveningnews, Atalanta values Hojlund at €45 million, indicating that Manchester United may need to increase their offer if they want to secure the services of the talented 24-year-old player.
Interestingly, Serie A champions Juventus are also interested in Hojlund and are contemplating including a player in a swap deal to bring down the price tag. This transfer saga has captured the attention of football enthusiasts who are eagerly waiting to see how the negotiations unfold.
Hojlund, who joined Atalanta from Austrian Bundesliga outfit Sturm Graz in the summer of 2022, had an impressive season with his current club, notching up nine goals and two assists in 32 Serie A appearances. His performances have caught the eye of several top clubs, with Manchester United and Juventus leading the chase for his signature.
Last season, Atalanta finished fifth in the Serie A standings, accumulating 64 points from their 38 matches. On the other hand, Manchester United secured a commendable third-place finish in the highly competitive Premier League, gathering 75 points from their 38 games. The Red Devils are determined to bolster their attacking options, and Hojlund’s arrival could provide the firepower they need to challenge for major honours in the upcoming campaign.
As the negotiations continue, football fans eagerly await updates on Manchester United’s bid for Hojlund. Will the English giants meet Atalanta’s valuation, or will Juventus swoop in with a tempting swap deal? Only time will tell. Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting transfer saga.
