From Italy: Two Serie A rivals now going head-to-head in pursuit of Utd star, one will ‘do everything’ to sign him

Rasmus Hojlund will reportedly have the option of returning to Italy if Manchester United decide to cut ties prematurely.

Indeed, the struggling forward has been shortlisted by both Napoli and Inter Milan, who finished first and second in Serie A, respectively.

Inter are floundering to overhaul their frontline following last month’s calamitous display in the Champions League final, which saw them on the receiving end of a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain. Napoli, meanwhile, are keen to strengthen Antonio Conte’s ranks in hopes of retaining their Scudetto triumph in back-to-back seasons in 2025/2026.

An issue for the two rivals, however, is that Hojlund has publicly expressed his desire to stay put at Old Trafford. After featuring for Denmark in a friendly at the start of the month, he was put on the spot regarding his United future, and told reporters: “I know what the facts are, and that is that I have a contract with Manchester United until 2030. I expect to play there, so I’m just getting ready for some summer vacation and then hopefully a good pre-season.”

The decision may well be out of his hands in the coming months, though. He is on the back of a considerably lacklustre campaign in which he scored only four Premier League goals in 32 appearances — six fewer than he registered in his maiden term.

United will mull over potential Napoli/Inter bids

When the season drew to a close, reports suggested the 22-year-old would be made available for sale this summer amid INEOS’ attempts to facilitate a full reshuffle of Amorim’s squad. Should a bid arrive that meets their valuation, you couldn’t blame them for accepting it.

One outlet in Italy, Corriere dello Sport (via FCInterNews), is continuing to update fans of the situation with Hojlund and his suitors, claiming earlier this week that Inter would ‘do everything’ in their power to sanction the Dane’s arrival.

They then verified Napoli’s entrance to the race, although Gazzetta (h/t Sempre Inter) has named Darwin Nunez as the league champions’ first-choice target to lead Conte’s line.
