Juventus plot move for Hojlund as Kolo Muani talks stall | OneFootball

Juventus have identified Manchester United striker Rasmus Hojlund as a potential target if they fail to sign Randal Kolo Muani (h/t Corriere dello Sport).

The Bianconeri are keen on extending the stay of Kolo Muani, who moved from Paris Saint-Germain in January on loan until the end of the 2024/25 season.

However, there have been no significant developments in the talks with PSG, who are demanding around €50 million for the French attacker.

Juventus are only interested in another loan with a non-obligatory buy-out clause, whereas PSG insist on a mandatory purchase.

The Bianconeri have started looking for alternatives, with Hojlund emerging as a top contender.

The former Atalanta centre-forward is not part of manager Ruben Amorim’s plans and is expected to leave Old Trafford this summer.

The Red Devils are pushing to get the Danish star off their books to make room for another attacker, having already acquired Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo in this transfer window.

AC Milan and Inter Milan have been credited with an interest in Hojlund, but neither club has submitted a concrete proposal.

While United are demanding around €60 million for Hojlund, a loan move could be a feasible option.

The Danish international is desperate to revitalise his career after a lacklustre spell at Manchester United, and Juventus could be a great option.

Following the acquisition of Jonathan David on a free transfer, Juve have prioritised signing a new striker as a replacement for Dusan Vlahovic.

They are keen to offload the Serbian after he rejected a contract extension offer. However, proposals have been scarce for Vlahovic, whom Juve value at around €30m.

Juve have also added Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez and PSG’s Goncalo Ramos to their wishlist.
