Hojlund to Napoli: clubs agree, United yet to approve | OneFootball

The deal that could bring Rasmus Hojlund to Napoli is nearing completion. This has been confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, who spoke on his YouTube channel.

From Manchester – Hojlund towards Napoli: agreement between clubs, but agreement with United is missing

“I can reassure Napoli fans: there is an agreement between the clubs and also with the player. Only the final agreement between Hojlund and Manchester United for the contract termination is missing.”

The current situation

According to Romano, the negotiation is essentially closed: Napoli has defined the terms with Manchester United and with the striker, but the difference between the existing contract at Old Trafford and the one proposed by the Azzurri club remains to be bridged. “We are talking about significant figures,” he added, “and Napoli does not intend to further increase the investment. Patience is needed.”

Who is Rasmus Hojlund

A Danish forward, born in 2003, Hojlund came into the spotlight two years ago with Atalanta (9 goals in Serie A) before moving to Manchester United, where he scored 14 goals in two Premier League seasons. A quick player with great ability to attack depth and significant growth potential, he represents an ideal profile for Napoli's technical project, also with a view to the Champions League: being underage, he would not occupy a slot in the UEFA list.

The competitors and the market context

Napoli accelerated after Lukaku's injury, identifying the Dane as an absolute priority to strengthen the attack. Milan also showed interest, but the Neapolitans are currently ahead. The negotiation has taken on the contours of a true strategic operation: Hojlund, although not disappointing in Manchester, has been sidelined by the arrival of Sesko and no longer fits into Amorim's plans.

What is missing for the white smoke

The economic agreement between Hojlund and United represents the last knot to untie. Once defined, the deal will be official. Napoli, for its part, does not intend to modify its offer or extend the timeline more than necessary, trusting that the player's will makes the difference.
